About the event

He kaupapa tēnei e karanga ana ki te hunga kaingākau ki te ngahere, ki te wai, ki te whenua - kia hoki anō ki ngā pūtake, kia whakatū i tētahi ara hou e toitū ai te mauri o te taiao. 


Join us for the Kāhui Taiao Tūroa Webinar Series, an integrated Indigenous operating model for ngahere revitalisation.  This series draws from lived experience, science practices, and practical delivery at scale - bringing together iwi, hapū, practitioners, and partners to explore how we restore balance across our ecosystems and our people. 


Grounded in the Te Ao Tūroa Operating Model, this series will walk through five interconnected pou  -  each one essential to restoring the integrity and mauri of our landscapes.  


WEBINAR SERIES THEMES (NGĀ POU) 

Each session builds on a whole-of-system approach: 

  1. Mana in the Method (Understanding Systems) 

    Reframing conservation through a systems lens - from mainstream models to Indigenous-led, integrated approaches.  


  2. Mauri First 

    Start with the ngahere - understanding what the forest needs and letting that guide decisions and investment. 

     

  3. Mana at the Right Level 

    Ensure iwi and hapū are positioned in strategic decision-making roles.  


  4. Momentum & Consent (Consent & Storytelling) 

    Build trust, mandate, and community alignment - bringing people with the kaupapa.  


  5. Tools with Confidence 

    Understand and use restoration tools (predator control, ungulate management, innovation) with clarity and confidence.  


  6. Measurement & Monitoring 

    Prove impact - combining tīpuna and western sciences to track ecological, cultural, and social outcomes.  

These pou reflect a shift to a whole-of-system model grounded in mauri, mana, and whakapapa relationships.

OPENING THE WEBINAR SERIES 
 

Mana in the Method  
With Joe Harawira & Ora Barlow 

A foundational kōrero unpacking systems thinking through a Te Ao Tūroa lens: 

  • What is the current conservation model  -  and where does it fall short?  

  • What does an Indigenous, whole-of-system model look like in practice?  

  • How do we place mana at the centre of method and decision-making?

These pou reflect a shift to a whole-of-system model grounded in mauri, mana, and whakapapa relationships.  

WHY THIS SERIES MATTERS 

Across Aotearoa, the scale of ecological challenge is increasing  -  biodiversity loss, climate pressure, and fragmented responses. This series recognises that: 

  • The system must change, not just the tools  

  • Indigenous leadership is central, not peripheral  

  • Restoration is as much about people as it is about place  

As reflected in the model, “you can’t lead the forest if you don’t know it… and you can’t heal the forest if the people aren’t with you.”

WHO SHOULD ATTEND 
  • Iwi, hapū and whenua-based leaders  

  • Conservation practitioners and kaitiaki  

  • Councils, agencies and policy makers  

  • Community groups and project leads  

  • Anyone committed to restoring the mauri of our ngahere
