This project celebrates plants and animals that have special significance to Māori (the first people of NZ). These include food species (kai), sea food (kai moana), medicinal plants (rongoā) and plants that had uses for weaving, building, carving, and cultural purposes. Note, for senstive or private locations, avoid using identifiable names in the location and record locations can be obscured (option below the map) when entering them. less ↑
