TE UREWERA MANAGEMENT PLAN FUTURE OF CONSERVATION – KRUGERTe Urewera Board has released its draft principles of management for Te Urewera, formerly Te Urewera National Park, which was recognised as a legal entity three years ago. It's key approach is to focus more on the management of people at Te Urewera instead of management of the land. Te Kawa o Te Urewera management plan acknowledges people need nature but nature doesn't need people. Te Kawa will apply to all land formerly of Te Urewera National Park and will also extend to Lake Waikaremoana. Public access will not be affected and concessions like permits will be renamed 'Friendship agreements' in recognition of Te Urewera as a being. Kruger says “I believe this is a good example of where Pākeha and the law acknowledge the value and strength of Māori methods." The capacity of which Te Urewera would benefit from this year's $76 million injection into DOC tourism infrastructure was yet to be discussed but signage to deter naked tourists taking snaps could be on the agenda...... www.maoritelevision.com/news/national/te-urewera-management-plan-future-conservation--kruger
