Current Projects

There are a number of key values, principles and practices that shape Ngāti Kuri views of the environment and approach to research. Please refer to the full environmental management plan for detailed descriptors of additional values to the WAI262 guiding principles listed above. (NK Environmental Plan 2018, pp. 133)

Within the Environmental plan Ngāti Kuri Trust Board has also developed a list of priority outcomes. Critical to the implementation of ‘Ara’ within this work programme is engagement with and involvement of haukāinga at all levels of the research programme, including design, data collection, interpretation and synthesis, and dissemination. This engagement supports the organic development of knowledge and understanding between local communities and scientists, enabling a framework focused on mutual learning and embedding mana-enhancing principles of reciprocity, partnership and participation.

All of our current and future projects align to our 3 key research themes.
