Ngārara in the Raukumara
Published 1 November 2021
A 9-minute documentary that lays bare the distress and urgency felt by environmental kaitiaki, as myrtle rust compounds an already precarious situation for threatened native species.
Mate Tipu, Mate Rākau follows Department of Conservation Ranger Graeme Atkins (Ngāti Porou, Rongomaiwahine), as he reveals the rapid devastation that the airborne fungal pathogen myrtle rust (Austropuccinia psidii) is having on the East Coast.
Pīngao: Weaving the Connections
Published on 3 February 2017
Iwi, weavers, scientists, social scientists and conservationists from all over New Zealand have come together to make this project possible. We aim to combine western science with mātauranga Māori in order to research the genetic and morphological variation in pīngao across New Zealand. This information is vital for the weaving properties of the plant and for the protection and conservation of pīngao for future generations. (This includes our very own Betsy Young)
