    Description
    Description
    Ngāti Kuri is leading the facilitation and coordination of ongoing conversations and connections for Taiātea across our Pacific Island collaborative. We are an iwi descended from the founding peoples of the northernmost peninsula of Aotearoa (New Zealand). We have vast areas of ocean and land under our guardianship. This includes the future ‘Rangitāhua/Kermadec Ocean Sanctuary’ that will protect up to 620,000km2, and large areas of land, with environmental, cultural and spiritual significance. We want to make the proposed Sanctuary much larger therefore are committing appropriately 900,000km2, of land and Ocean. Our contribution means that we will commit to over 2/3rd of our traditional lands and ocean into Sanctuary as our gift to the world to contribute to the well-being our planet.
    We are partnering to achieve community resilience, shared prosperity and self-determination. We hope to engage and share this with as many people, organisation and governments, who share our aspirations and dreams for our oceans. As indigenous leaders we believe that our knowledge will be able to shift mindsets and create new perspectives enabling solutions for Ocean well-being, we will help take this planet the next level of change for the better. We have a strong alignment to Oceans 2030 and aim to inspire as many islands and nations to amplify their voices to protect and restore the balance of our oceans.
