Hi,
Forest & Bird left the forum earlier this week, citing "mounting frustration" over the Government's handling of freshwater issues.
Proposed freshwater standards announced last month were the final straw, the group said.
Fish and Game left the group in 2015, and the Environment and Conservation Organisations (ECO) left last year, both citing selective implementation by the Government of the forum's recommendations.
With its major environmental voices gone, critics are now questioning the forum's ability to represent environmental views.
Green party water spokeswoman Catherine Delahunty said the forum no longer represented a diverse range of views.
