    Rewilding In Action Replay - 04 - Te Ao Maori vision of Rewilding
    Jun 12 2025
    Please enjoy this replay from October 2024 Could the plaintive calls of Buff Weka once again be heard across the Otago Peninsula? It’s already a special refuge – for breeding penguins like hoiho and kororā, for toroa Northern Royal Albatrosses and tarāpunga Red-billed Gull colonies. In this show I chat with my guests Hoani Langsbury and Tūmai Cassidy about some of the commonalities between their Māori world view, knowledge and vision – and those of Rewilding. They tell me how the values behind Te Ao Māori are guiding ecological restoration on the peninsula particularly as it relates to the possible reintroduction of Buff Weka.

    Please enjoy this replay from January 2025 In this episode of Rewilding in Action, host Maureen Howard is back on Otago Peninsula again to meet with Paula Cross who along with her husband Brendan farm 880 ha of the predominantly steep hill country they own and lease there. Join me to find out from my guest what it’s like to combine rewilding native forest with farming, how cutting back Muehlenbeckia australis in the native forest has impacted it, and why we might want to keep some of the non-native trees and shrubs until the native forest gets established.

    Rewilding In Action Replay - 08 - Healthy Rivers Flood
    May 15 2025
    Please enjoy this replay from December 2024 Should we rewild rivers - when floods can bring damage to property and sometimes loss of life? In this episode I chat with my guest river scientist Professor Gary Brierley about the importance of seeing rivers as dynamic entities within the landscape, rather than water channels to manage. We discuss how we can live well with our water catchments - from those that feed our magnificent glacier fed rivers to those that supply the streams on our properties.
