Wild For Taranaki
Connect

Connecting with our Members – Wai Connection featuring at the Biodiversity Forum 

We were heartened by the interest in the Wai Connection workshop at the Biodiversity Forum where Wai Coordinators and Connectors Darlene, Timara and Lisa’s presentation shed light on how the initiative is aiming to support the region’s freshwater spaces. We put our facilitation training to the test and collated input from more than 50 Wild for Taranaki members to investigate what is important to the sector right now.  

Key themes that stood out were Education & Awareness Building around freshwater issues, improving Communication within the sector about the mahi that is going on, diving deeper into Īnanga/Whitebait Regulation vs Mahinga Kai and the challenge of Funding. As the project develops, these insights will help inform our activities for 2025 so watch this space!
