Māori Conservation Map.
Māori Community Conservation is a geospatial repository
that collates information on Māori-led conservation initiatives nationwide.
Māori Community Conservation identifies sites and species from the marine, freshwater and
land-based environments that are the focus of community** efforts.
Māori Community Conservation illustrates a better understanding of the non-state contribution to the biological and biocultural restoration and care for the environment across Aotearoa, New Zealand.
Māori Community Conservation contributes to the visibility of this community** effort and to understanding the cost (both economic and in terms of person-hours). This effort isn't currently acknowledged by national reporting.
** We use the general term "community" to include all organised groups, including Te Tiriti Partners, Hapū, Marae, Whānau, Committees, Trust, Rūnanga, Papatipu, Taumata, Tangata Tiaki and other expressions of Tino Rangatiratanga.
