Our research team works closely with iwi/hapu in the case study regions to develop tools and approaches to facilitate the uptake of this knowledge and its practical implementation. Mechanisms will also be put in place to facilitate uptake amongst other iwi throughout NZ.

Below you can view case studies and reports that relate to the collective mahi we have undertaken over the past six years. More detailed reports can be found here.
