Ko hea, Ko hea tērā maunga e tū mai rā Ko Taranaki pea, Nukunuku mai, nekeneke mai Ki taku tauaro kikini ai e ha! Aha kekeke noa, kekeke noa
What is the name of that place, what is the name of that peak standing forth? It is Taranaki. Come forward, draw close. In our presence, feel and acknowledge our affirmation. As our hearts beat with conviction.

About Taranaki Mounga

Taranaki Mounga is a collaboration between the Department of Conservation (DOC), eight Taranaki iwi and philanthropic investor NEXT Foundation, supported by founding sponsors Shell New Zealand, Jasmine Social Investments, TSB Community Trust and Landcare Research. The project will push the boundaries in landscape-scale ecological restoration over an area that includes the 34,000 ha of national park encompassing Taranaki, Pouakai, Kaitake and the protected Ngā Motu/Sugar Loaf Islands. Taranaki Mounga will restore and revitalise the environment so wildlife will once again flourish in this treasured place.
