Mahi
Our work
We harness the power of shared knowledge and collective action to restore the mauri of the Kaimai Mamaku.
Kaimai Mamaku Restoration Projects
The Kaimai Mamaku is 300,000+ hectares - simply too much for one person or organisation. We bring together all projects, agencies, stakeholders and communities around the rohe (area).
Projects
Pest plant and animal control
12 iwi-hapū led projects across the motu with an operational network of more than 30,000 hectares.
Goat eradication
Feral goats are a long-standing issue in our ngahere as they eat natives and damage soil.
In planning phase.
Annual Kiwi count
Kiwi have been seen and heard in the Kaimai Mamaku and every year we run a citizen-led count.
Kaimai Mamaku Kōrero
A collaborative website to highlight the collective action happening across the motu.
