When the Raukūmara is healthy, we will be healthy. When we are healthy, the Raukūmara will be healthy.

Te Raukūmara, the mountain range that has nurtured and protected us since the time our waka
first arrived on these shores, is on the brink of ecological collapse.

The Raukūmara Pae Maunga kaupapa is an iwi-led response group managed by
Te Whanau a Apanui and Ngati Porou. It will require every one of us to work together
to pull our ngahere back from the edge of extinction.

We must focus on what our ngahere needs, what it asks of us, and how we can provide what is required
to achieve the ecological and cultural restoration and revitalisation of the Raukūmara.

There is no more time to spare,
The race to save our ngahere is on!
