Māori communities in New Zealand combat climate change impacts with Indigenous knowledge, focusing on land, sea, and sky conservation projects.

Māori communities in New Zealand are combating climate change's impacts with Indigenous knowledge, conducting conservation projects that focus on land, sea, and sky. Reforestation and predator control projects help preserve the land's natural filtration system and support biodiversity. Māori culture heavily relies on native plants and animals for food, medicine, and traditions, and these efforts are crucial for preserving their way of life. Māori people view native plants as part of the Earth Mother and aim to return the environment to its natural state before human activities disrupted it, protecting their cultural heritage and practices for future generations.
