Kaitiaki Ngā Whenua Rahui
Ngā Whenua Rahui was set up in 1991 to negotiate with māori land owners for the protection of native forest and indigenous ecosystems on Māori land in a bid to preserve this precious taonga. It is not compulsory. The urgency is great as only one third of New Zealand’s forest cover still remains and every year it gets less. The remaining forests are home for many of our unique native birds. Many have been lost but in recent times there has been impressive gains in protecting and enhancing what is left with landownders working with organisations like Ngā Whenua Rahui.
An inside look at ways whanau, hapu and iwi work as active kaitiaki, or caretakers, of the environment.
