Kaitiaki continue to enhance and restore whenua, wai and kai. They are driven by working towards a set of key goals and working across other programmes of work including new native nurseries, farming operations and iwi-led environmental site visits and Waananga. Our key drivers and outcomes are;
Developing pathways for growth and implementation of our investment themes and priorities. A focus on the development of ecosystem methods, design and approaches with emphasis on the environment and taonga within as key knowledge holders.
Undertake multi-iwi dialogue and capability building exchanges to share Indigenous environmental and science innovations and solutions for future prosperity. This will bring together whaanau and iwi knowledge with science innovation achieved through community exchanges, and a plethora of waananga.
Develop skills, experience and understandings through both scientific measures and Ngaati Koroki Kahukura worldviews to establish and maintain healthy environments and the required human capital.
Enhance collaboration across partners and iwi through the co-creation of research that informs practice and kaitiakitanga, unlocking the innovation potential of diverse knowledge, cultural practices, science and technology.
