Tēnā koutou katoa,
Te Wai Māori Trust and NIWA thanks those who were able to attend yesterday’s online launch (watch here) of our new report, assessing the vulnerability of our taonga freshwater species to climate change. Over 1,000 people marked their interest in the event and our webinar has had over 800 views, reaffirming the importance to people of the health and abundance of our taonga species.
In a world-first, the report applies a Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment (CCVA) based on an internationally recognised method to assess the vulnerability of ten of our freshwater taonga species to climate change. Seven of the ten species researched ranked ‘High’ to ‘Very High’ against the CCVA with tuna (longfin eel) and piharau/kanakana (lamprey) at the top of the list.
