In 1990 Vida Silvestre took to court, oral and public, the first environmental case against illegal trade of wildlife. This ended in a conviction. Three years later, in 1993 the organization collected 1,200,000 signatures from citizens to back the inclusion of Environmental Crime in the Civil Code. Though the aim was not achieved it was the first step towards awakening the public to the importance of the subject. Towards the end of 2007 Congress approved law 26.331 for Minimal Budgets for Environmental Protection of natural woodlands. However the Executive Government only brought out the pertinent regulations in February 2009, after an appeal made by over 70 social organizations, Vida Silvestre amongst them.

That opposition remained alert to any unusual activity on the OHB land, and when surveyors were seen on the flats over the summer of 1979-80 conservation interests began to organize what became the Save Aramoana Campaign. At the time the site was included in the Waikouaiti District Scheme, under zoning provisions of dubious legality and which a planner/economist with the campaign took to court for a declaratory judgment as to their legality. This had the effect of placing the whole project sub judice, and therefore unable to proceed. It cost $50.00 to lodge that action with the court, and when it became clear that the project would not be able to quietly proceed under the existing rules, the entire campaign for and against the smelter was thrust into the public arena.
