The Recloaking Papatūānuku Proposal is a living document open for input as we continue to engage with the Government, Māori, experts, environmental and community groups. This Proposal outlines some possible features thereof, in the expectation of further developing and progressing these in collaboration with stakeholders.
Community-led, locally appropriate, intergenerationally enduring
To work, Recloaking Papatūānuku needs to be embraced by Māori and non-Māori; by rangatahi, whose future relies so heavily upon us taking transformative action now; by local communities and local governments across the nation; by urban and rural people; and by representatives across the political divide.
A suite of universally accepted guiding principles would facilitate such widespread support, uptake, and multi-stakeholder ownership of this initiative. These would be formulated around ensuring indigenous reforestation and regeneration projects are:
(a) Community/catchment-led and place-based (i.e. approaches that honour the mauri of each catchment and landscape);
(b) Biodiverse, bio regionally-appropriate, and ecologically resilient;
(c) Informed by mātauranga and tikanga Māori, as well as other science-based research;
(d) Inclusive, collaborative, participatory, and culturally respectful, engaging and enabling tangata whenua to fully realise the commitments of Te Tiriti;
(e) Inclusive of rangatahi, with their involvement in project governance and operational oversight;
(f) Affordable and economically and ecologically sustainable; and
(g) Intergenerationally enduring.
