The Ngā Whenua Rāhui Fund is open from 1 March 2026 - 30 April 2026.
For more than 30 years we have worked with kaipupuri whenua through reviewable 25 year Kawenata that centre mātauranga, tuakiritanga, local priorities and whānau aspirations.
A Kawenata is a formal conservation agreement that helps protect native ecosystems on Māori-owned land while allowing landowners to retain full ownership and management.
The kawenata is tailored to each whenua and reflects the cultural, ecological, and historical values of the area.
Our Komiti Amorangi advises the Minister of Conservation and ensures each kawenata reflects the whenua it protects.
