Project Whenua
Takapourewa, or Stephen’s Island, is home to over 30,000 tuatara. We take a trip to meet these unique reptiles to see the work being done to ensure their survival.
Taking a fresh look at the ‘hands on’ science that’s happening out in the catchments, rivers and forests of Aotearoa, the series is focused on innovative environmental projects that utilise Māori knowledge and concepts. We look at these issues in detail, showcasing the science behind them as our field reporter, environmental scientist, Tuaiwa Darcel Rickard, walks the viewer through the processes and discusses the ins and outs with the workers involved.
