About the scholarship
Te Mana o Rangitāhua is a five-year MBIE Endeavour-funded research programme led by Ngāti Kuri in partnership with Auckland Museum. Through this research, we will transform environmental wellbeing practices for Aotearoa through Indigenous practices of reconnecting, reidentifying, and restorying within a subtropical island ecosystem that is a bellwether for climate change. Rangitāhua (Kermadec Islands) is located halfway between mainland Aotearoa and Tonga and contains marine and terrestrial biodiversity found nowhere else in the world, including internationally significant terrestrial nature reserves and Aotearoa's largest marine reserve. It has been identified as one of only four pristine marine ecosystems on Earth.
