And welcome to our initiative<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Aspiring Biodiversity Trust intends to protect and enhance indigenous biodiversity within the Makarora\/ Makarore Wilkin\/ \u014ct\u0101nenui Catchments from Ridge to River (part of Mt Aspiring National Park and a UNESCO World Heritage site).<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time raising awareness of the importance of the natural world and connecting people with nature!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project area encompasses many of Aotearoa\u2019s iconic and highly threatened species such as<\/strong> rock wren\/ p\u012bwauwau<\/strong>, kea and blue duck\/ whio of the Wilkin, Tiel and Siberia Valleys. Makarora’s beech\/ podocarp forest for k\u0101k\u0101, mohua and long-tailed bat\/ pekapeka-tou-roa<\/strong> and the braided rivers for black-fronted tern\/ tarapiroe<\/strong> and wrybill\/ ngutuparore. The location has unique cultural significance to mana whenua and includes highcountry farmland.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biodiversity <\/strong>(from \u201cbiological diversity\u201d) refers to the variety of life on earth. Composed of all plants and animals (inc. their genes) and the ecosystems that support them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biodiversity<\/strong> encompasses and forms the foundation of the vast array of ecosystem services. The evolutionary, ecological, and cultural processes that sustain life. At a critical level such systems are fundamental to human wellbeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement; the greatest source of visual beauty; the greatest source of intellectual interest. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living.<\/em>“<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The persistence of indigenous biodiversity is an indication of ecosystem health, recognising the inter-connectedness of land, water and the community (ki uta ki tai – the Ng\u0101i Tahu whole system approach).<\/em><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
