Bunny, now 48, lives on Waiheke Island, near
Auckland, New Zealand, with her partner and fellow Rainbow Warrior
crewmember Henk Haazen, and their 17-year-old daughter, Ruby.
Together they are shareholders in the Awaawaroa eco-village,
along with another Rainbow Warrior crewmember, Hanne Sorrenson,
and 30 others. Bunny currently works for Greenpeace International,
running its campaign for a high seas moratorium on deep-sea trawling
from the organisation's Auckland headquarters in leafy Mt Eden.
After the bombing in 1985 she sailed to Moruroa as cook aboard the Greenpeace
and spent three months living with Henk in the Marshall Islands with the Rongelap
people who had resettled there. She co-founded Greenpeace's Pacific campaign
in 1987 and continued to work on the campaign against French nuclear testing
until the last test in 1996. She moved the Greenpeace Pacific campaign office
from Auckland to Fiji in 1994, where she lived until 1998.
After fourteen years with Greenpeace she took a break and sailed to Antarctica
with Henk and Ruby in 1999. They then built their own house at Awaawaroa
out of mudbrick and recycled timber. She returned to the Greenpeace fold
in 2001, facilitating
Greenpeace International meetings and as Campaign Director of Greenpeace
New Zealand, until taking on her new role with the organisation's oceans
campaign in 2004.
