How to talk about co-governance of our bioheritage
This guide is for knowledge holders, communicators and advocates across various fields with a focus on co-governance and bioheritage.
Its purpose is to provide effective communication strategies to:
-
help people who are designing legislation, policies and practices for bioheritage protection to have better conversations with the public about the importance of tangata whenua-led environmental management
-
improve public (particularly tangata Tiriti) understanding of the role of co-governance and mātauranga Māori in the protection of our bioheritage
-
connect with those people more likely to support and lead the necessary changes
-
build confidence in navigating around people who are hard to persuade, including explaining unhelpful ways of framing the issue
-
motivate people to act in support of legislation, policies and practices that build reciprocal and balanced partnerships between tangata whenua and tangata Tiriti for the protection of our bioheritage.
