ABSTRACT

We all have a role to play in biodiversity conservation, especially when it comes to protecting taonga species from invasive pathogens. Whether we recognize it or not, our survival as a human species is dependent on the survival of te taiao (the environment), and we have a duty of care to retain its mana and mauri.

• But how are people connecting to te taiao?

• What motivates people to care or act to save our taonga species?

• How can people be empowered to make a difference now and in the future, to ensure the well-being of te taiao for the coming generations?

This video directed by Ngāriki Ngatae (Akaririo Films) was screened at the online Kaurilands Summit 2021.
