New Zealand funds $3.5M to restore 3,000 hectares of Tongariro National Park after 2025 wildfires, focusing on native recovery and invasive species control.
New Zealand is investing $3.5 million over five years from the International Visitor Levy to restore over 3,000 hectares of Tongariro National Park damaged by two 2025 wildfires.
The funding will support weed control, pest management, and biodiversity monitoring to protect native regeneration.
Led by Ngāti Hikairo ki Tongariro and the Department of Conservation, the effort combines science, tikanga, and mātauranga Māori under the Maunga Ora plan.
While native vegetation is regrowing, invasive species and pests like deer remain threats.
The park, a Dual World Heritage site and cultural taonga, is vital to the Ruapehu District’s economy.
Tracks have reopened, fire crews have completed work, and the government stresses community and iwi involvement in restoring ecological and spiritual resilience.
