A collaborational effort.

Taranaki Mounga is a collaboration between the Department of Conservation (DOC), Taranaki iwi Chairs forum and philanthropic investor NEXT Foundation, supported by founding sponsors Shell New Zealand, Jasmine Social Investments, TSB Community Trust and Manaaki Whenua – Landcare Research. The project pushes the boundaries in landscape-scale ecological restoration over an area that includes the 34,000 hectares 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.
