What we heard • Complex problem requiring a long-term solution. • Urgent action and opportunity to be involved. Forest management is the biggest concern. • Local solutions and local leadership in response. • Mātauranga Māori and western science together. • There is a lot of good work going on. • Increased and sustained public awareness and education. • Community education and engagement are key.

The refreshed strategy

Secondary objectives: Vision Ko te kauri he whakaruruhau mo nga Iwi katoa Kia toitu te whenua Kia toitu te kauri The kauri is the shelter for all people So that the land endures So that the kauri endures Goal Sustain the mauri and health of New Zealand kauri forests in the presence of kauri dieback beyond the next 1000 years. Primary objective: To reduce the harmful effects of PA on the environmental, social, cultural and economic wellbeing of New Zealand by preventing the spread of PA and minimising its impacts on New Zealand’s kauri, kauri forests, our culture, our communities and economy. Secondary objectives: To reduce the spread of kauri dieback. Maintain kauri dieback free areas. To reduce the impact of kauri dieback within infected sites. To reduce the spread of kauri dieback within, and from, infected sites. Locally eliminate kauri dieback within infected sites where possible. To protect kauri tree and stands with special values from kauri dieback.

What’s changed? Stronger emphasis on Treaty partnership. Stronger relationships with iwi/hapu, community and local authorities. Creation of alternative walkways. Establishment of sanctuary zones. More funding for, and stronger focus on, mātauranga Māori. Bigger focus on tools for use on the ground. More closures and rules for restricted access to infected and disease free sites. Minimum standards for open tracks.

Questions What do you think of the objectives? Are these the right priorities and right actions? Did we reflect the feedback from the first round of consultation in July 2018?
