A project inspired by research into the Ruru back in 2016, highlighted to the Swampfrog team that the ability of our people to continue their practices of haakari and hauanga kai will be impacted by climate change. For this project we are working with 7 marae in the Waikato rohe and will investigate our relationships with important kai associated with land/forest, freshwater and marine systems that have been and continue to be served at Poukai.
