1 RESTORING BIODIVERSITY ON A REGIONAL LANDSCAPE SCALE
2 RECONNECTING NORTHLAND RECONNECTING NORTHLAND Moemoea / Vision Whenua ora, wai ora, tangata ora Our land & our people flourishing together
3 Reconnecting Northland is supported by Programme Partners: WWF-New Zealand NZ Landcare Trust Programme Funders: The Tindall Foundation Foundation North HSBC Water Programme
4 Reconnecting Northland s people * Steering Group Kevin Prime (Chairperson) Bronwyn Hunt (Deputy) John Dawn Deborah Harding Peter Berg John Craig Helen Moodie Carolyn Smith (DOC) Tony Phipps (NRC) * Programme Team David Mules - Programme Manager (1.0) WWF Ngaire Tyson - Project Implementation (0.5) NZLT Jon Hampson - Project Implementation (0.5) NZLT Lee Barry / Michele Frank - Programme Support (0.2) WWF (Wgtn) * The People of Northland / Nga Iwi Whanui o Te Tai Tokerau
5 The Scope of Reconnecting Northland Where? Te Tai Tokerau / Northland peninsula including inshore coastal zone & islands: Approx. 1.7 million ha 80% Northland 20% Auckland Who? People who have an interest in the future of Northland those who live in the region, or who have an active relationship with it When? Reconnecting Northland will be a central feature of the region for the next 50+ years an intergenerational vision
6 Reconnecting Northland is NZ s first regional ecological restoration programme aiming to link projects & groups to create large-scale change, for the benefit of the natural world & the people of Te Tai Tokerau Based on principles of environmental & social connectivity & sustainability Strategic priorities set by the community & backed up by science & matauranga, towards which multiple groups are contributing, working in collaborative partnerships A bold, innovative & potentially transformational programme, whose time has come
7 Connectivity Natural World / Te Taiao restoring fragmented biodiversity & ecosystems, working beyond protected areas People / Te Tangata working in collaborative partnerships towards a shared vision, strengthening kaitiakitanga within a living landscape Culture & Spirit / Te Mauri thinking & working holistically, recognising the importance of our links with nature Resources / Te Putea working smartly, creatively, effectively, efficiently & sustainably
8 Greater environmental resilience Increased native biodiversity Reduced erosion Improved water quality Greater prosperity Northland Reconnected Stronger communities Greater cultural connectedness Improved well-being More sustainable livelihoods
9 New challenges demand fresh approaches (a global perspective) We are challenged as human kind has never been challenged before. To prove our mastery, not of nature, but of ourselves. To make peace with the earth & appreciate it for what it gives. Not for what we can take. Satish Kumar, Ecologist, Editor of Resurgence Magazine
10 Keeping it real (a Northland perspective) *ONE EARTH* *ONE LIFE* *ONE CHANCE* *TWO FELT PENS* Anonymous, Kohura, Hokianga Ferry
11 Vision into action It s all very well having an aspirational vision, but it will remain just that, unless there is an effective mechanism for achieving it. Strategic planning Vision Targets Goals Threats Objectives Strategies Actions
12 Seven Key Targets Targets are the special features of the region that Reconnecting Northland will focus on: Ecosystems inter-connected environments & habitats Species representative of native biodiversity Human attitudes, values, needs & activities interact critically with all of the targets
13 Kauri / Toitu Te Kauri
14 Significant Forests / Te Wao Nui O Tane
15 Kiwi, Kukupa & Bats / Nga Tamariki A Tane
16 Dune Systems / Nga Tahuna
17 Wetlands & Lakes / Nga Wai Maori
18 Estuaries / Nga Wai Tai
19 Tuna, Whitebait & Kewai / Nga Taonga Ika
20 Valuing Nature / Te Kaitiakitanga
21 Seven Key Threats Threats are the causes of problems for the health or viability of our targets: Kauri dieback Predators Browsing animals Weeds Unsustainable land-use practices Factors contributing to declining fish stocks Uncontrolled dogs & at least 15 more
22 Key Tasks for SET PRECEDENTS Partnering in precedent-setting practical community restoration projects that demonstrate the power of groups building connectivity through collaboration: Kiwi Coast community-led predator control for kiwi recovery: eastern Northland Whakaora Ake Warawara predator control for forest health & community development: Warawara Go With The Flow community-led catchment & biodiversity restoration: Kaipara catchment Dune Lakes & Wetlands region-wide restoration of dune lakes: Te Hiku, Waipoua, Pouto
23 2. SPREAD THE CONNECTIVITY APPROACH Inspiring & enabling groups to see the bigger picture & use connectivity tools: Providing advice, mentoring, facilitation, training, events, networking & other support to groups who wish to connect & scale up Social enterprise assisting stakeholder partners to develop related business enterprises, helping to expand & sustain restoration projects Te Arai Native Nursery project enabling bulk procurement of eco-sourced plants & social benefits
24 3. GROW STANDING Developing the standing of Reconnecting Northland to enable this effort to be sustained into the future: Keeping the shared vision alive, monitoring & communicating progress & identifying strategic opportunities to make a positive difference Attracting & leveraging new resources & support for this region-wide effort, including exploring new financial instruments to sustain ecological restoration work
25 Kiwi Coast Vision: To support & connect community-led kiwi recovery along the east coast of Northland
26 Kiwi in Northland
27 Starting Point Not a new idea Started in south in 2013 Initial 40,000 ha focus area Strengthen & join two strongholds Connect community & agency-led kiwi projects Encourage & support action to fill the gaps Extend northwards towards BOI & beyond
28 After Two Years About 175 km long, extending from Bream Head to Hihi Covering 270,000 ha in total (15% region) About 78,000 ha in active predator control Targeted rates * Now linking together over 50 community, iwi & agencyled projects * About 175 km long, extending from Bream Head to Hihi Covering about 270,000ha with about 70,000ha in active management
29 Collaboration Kiwi Coast now links together 59 community, iwi, agency & businessled initiatives Slow & steady increase in kiwi population cf. 2% national decline Assistance with pateke / brown teal monitoring spreading
30 Yes, It s Working! From DOC Kiwi Call Count Report 2014
31 Partnerships Social Connectivity Community groups Iwi / hapu Landholders DOC Northland Regional Council District councils (WDC, FNDC) Businesses (e.g. forestry companies, farmers) QEII Trust Kiwis for Kiwi Trust NZ Landcare Trust Schools Coordinated by Reconnecting Northland
32 Engagement & relationships Planning & monitoring Communications & advocacy Events & fundraising Education & training Acknowledgement
33 Kiwi Coast ,295 possums 16,386 rats 864 stoats 638 weasels 479 feral cats 2396 hedgehogs 618 rabbits 3 ferrets
34
35 Warawara Whakaora Ake Warawara Forest Project Integrated predator control for forest health & community capacity development
36 Warawara Forest
37 Warawara a significant kauri forest
38 Over 13,000 ha total, very rugged terrain Both conservation area & private (mainly Maori) land Focus of cultural identity for local communities High levels of biodiversity & endemism Declining forest health Economically marginalised communities Te Hiku treaty settlement Background
39 Holistic approach Warawara Te wairua o te iwi o Te Rarawa Dame Whina Cooper Inter-connectedness with well-being of communities Three+ years planning Komiti kaitiaki formed Partnerships developed Rahui established Predator control first step Employment opportunities Part of deeper community renaissance
40 Partnerships Five-year partnership programme, in collaboration with local communities & landholders Major contributing partners: Te Runanga o Te Rarawa, DOC, Northland Regional Council, Reconnecting Northland Assistance from: Nga Whenua Rahui, Kiwis for Kiwi Trust, Forest & Bird, Ministry of Social Development, etc.
41 Longer-term community aspirations On-going ecological health of Warawara forest & wider environment Tangata whenua working in collaborative relationships with partners Strengthening of matauranga & tikanga in relation to the natural world Establish a kiwi sanctuary & kaitiaki centre in the forest Promote relevant research, training & educational curriculum Develop related employment, career & business opportunities
42 Reconnecting Northland in a wider context How can we (i.e. Northlanders) make the most of the unique opportunities presented to Te Tai Tokerau by Reconnecting Northland? Recognising our synergies, how can we (i.e. all of us here) further develop our collaborative relationships to enhance NZ s ecological & social health, for our collective well-being? Whenua ora, wai ora, tangata ora
