A number of projects are currently
in place to protect and enhance the natural resources of Tairawhiti and
Hikurangi.
The two most significant are:
eco2000 > an international campaign, based in Hanover
which will promote sustainable land and resource use.
Project Crimson > an
national programme to encourage the preservation and planting of Pohutukawa
- the NZ Christmas Tree - around the coastline of Aotearoa.
