Sharing knowledge to empower collective approaches to restoration
June 2024
ABSTRACT
Community organisations have come to play a key role in biodiversity conservation and restoration over the last 30 years, with thousands of volunteer and kaitiaki groups undertaking predator control, tree planting, habitat restoration, environmental monitoring and education. As the community sector has grown and evolved, innovations have emerged in not only the types of restoration undertaken, but how communities self-organise and work together. This study focused on one growing trend: the formation of collectives of volunteer groups, iwi, hapū, councils and others to restore nature at regional or landscape scales. We brought together representatives of 16 collectives from around Aotearoa to connect and share their experiences of collective approaches to restoration. In this webinar we summarise insights emerging from this shared learning network and share six key ways that collectives help to amplify community-led restoration in Aotearoa, as well as the potential benefits and challenges of working collectively. We will also highlight the role connectivity and shared learning can play in empowering community leaders, encouraging reflexivity in restoration and building a community of collective practice.
