This is the decade of action: The Nature Conservancy’s Global 2030 Goals aim to positively impact our planet and we all have a part to play, no matter where we are in the world. There are six areas of focus including: - reducing or storing 3 gigatons of CO2 emissions yearly, - restoring the health of natural habitats that protect communities from adverse weather events and - conserving nearly 10 billion acres of ocean. Aotearoa is already playing our part through projects like the Blue Carbon project, Land for Life in the Hawkes Bay and the Revive Our Gulf initiative in the Hauraki Gulf.

Major weed infestations threatening high-value ecosystems at 150 sites across Marlborough, Buller, Nelson, and Tasman have been controlled by the Kotahitanga mō te Taiao Alliance landscape-scale weed project through the Jobs for Nature funding which concluded at the end of May. Thanks to Marlborough District Council for this overview of what the project achieved, and Department of Conservation (DOC) Jobs for Nature, the collaboration of the KMTT partners, and the wider community for making it all possible.

What if the new Global Director of Indigenous Science for The Nature Conservancy... was Māori? Here's a really special opportunity to harness the power of Māori leadership for worldwide conservation.
Kia hiwa rā, kia hiwa rā ngā iwi o te motu nei, anei he pānui kia koutou kātoa! We recognise the importance of indigenous peoples in the face of the climate and biodiversity crisis across the globe and here in Aotearoa the role our kaitiaki play in environmental decision making and management. We have seen the power and importance of mātauranga Māori in responding to climate change and restoring and protecting our Taiao. Our worldwide team at The Nature Conservancy is searching for a Global Director of Indigenous Sciences, to establish and lead a community of practice in Indigenous Sciences. How cool would it be to have someone from Aotearoa in that role? In the time I've been working for TNC, I've seen how much they respect and elevate diverse expertise, equity, knowledge and work in partnership with indigenous peoples. Applications are being processed NOW so please share this far and wide and encourage your whānau to apply ASAP. This really is a major opportunity to share the strength of Māori leadership and our understanding of indigenous knowledge systems with the world. https://lnkd.in/dqBM_D63 Image: Stuart Attwood Photography

“For Indigenous people to have more capacity for conservation work, we need to be healthy. So our communities need to be healthy enough to step into those roles.” Sound familiar? Crystal Nelson, Equitable Conservation Project Manager, spoke to The Nature Conservancy magazine about the Alaska Youth Stewards programme, which raises students from being students to becoming leaders within their communities, working across multiple restoration and conservation projects.
We often hear that young people will inherit the environmental challenges shaped by us today. It’s something I think about a lot as a mother – and certainly today, on International Youth Day. Not only is it our responsibility to make decisions to create a positive future, but we need to equip young, diverse voices with the knowledge and tools to be conservation leaders. There’s so much hope in youth empowerment. I love this new The Nature Conservancy Magazine story about the Alaska Youth Stewards, a program led by Alaska Native communities to reclaim Indigenous authority and restore culture, forests and local economies.

Earlier this year, 18 people from the Wxémalkwu First Nation in British Columbia came to Aotearoa New Zealand. The group met iwi and hapū /Māori tribal units from around the country, to share experiences and knowledge first-hand, in aid of raising a future generation of leaders. They visited the top of the South Island and met with KMTT Alliance partners and iwi leaders - there will be more stories about this part of their trip to come.
Learning and cultural exchanges between Indigenous Peoples around the world are key to global conservation. Earlier this year, 18 people from the Wxémalkwu First Nation in British Columbia came to Aotearoa New Zealand, returning a visit from The Nature Conservancy and other New Zealand conservation organisations in 2019. The group met iwi and hapū /Māori tribal units from around the country, to share experiences and knowledge first-hand, all in aid of raising a future generation of leaders. Meeting face to face is a powerful way to foster knowledge, ideas and values transfers and to create lasting relationships that create support networks for shared problem solving. Along with our Canadian affiliate Nature United, we are proud to support these exchanges to foster diffusion of community-led conservation and practices. Arpége Taratoa (Ngāi-te-Rangi, Ngāti Ranginui, Ngāti Raukawa, Ngāpuhi, Ngāti Rārua) reported on each leg of the trip, starting with Tamaki Makaurau where the group heard from Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei about the power of language, the impact of resistance and how vital self-sustainability is. Since COVID, the iwi has led initiatives including food nourishment through a community garden and investing into private health insurance for their people to access faster, more efficient and quality health care.

Last week the Revive Our Gulf project marked a big milestone with Ngāti Manuhiri Settlement Trust, delivering the latest batch of kūtai/mussels to Kawau Bay in the Hauraki Gulf/Te Moananui-ā-Toi/Tīkapa Moana. July has seen seven million mussels distributed, which will help grow our knowledge of how to restore mussel reefs at scale. Ngāti Manuhiri Settlement Trust Chief Executive, Nicola MacDonald says: “By reestablishing these kūtai reefs we are taking solid and decisive action to reverse the human impacts on the Gulf, and give our wai/water a fighting chance to ensure it is stable enough to support us now and into the future.” This kūtai restoration project is an internationally significant example of successful indigenous partnership. Our Country Director for Aotearoa, Abbie Reynolds, says “The way that this project works hand in hand with mana whenua is particularly exciting, upholding the mana of all involved, and we are honoured to be a part of this important restoration work with the wider benefits that it entails.” Read the full story: https://lnkd.in/gUX-BUpr The University of Auckland The Nature Conservancy Asia Pacific Images: Shaun Lee. Photos show kūtai being released into the waters of Kawau Bay, the barge used for the release, and a close up of the kūtai entering the water.
