Hamilton, Waikato, New Zealand

I work at the interface of two distinct strands of environmental knowledge: Science and Mātauranga Māori. By weaving together both these sources of knowledge, we can better look after Te Taiao (the environment) and its wai (water), whenua (land), āhuarangi (climate) and koiora (life). My role is to connect and communicate the science of Waikato Regional Council to our iwi partners, so that they are empowered as kaitiaki to create holistic environmental change that spans across generations and upholds the mauri of the whenua.
