How to talk about co-governance of our bioheritage, 2021
This guide is for knowledge holders, communicators and advocates across various fields with a focus on co-governance of our bioheritage.
Its purpose is to provide effective communication strategies to:
help people who are designing legislation, policies and practices for bioheritage protection to have better conversations with the public about the importance of tangata whenua-led environmental management
improve public (particularly tangata Tiriti) understanding of the role of co-governance and mātauranga Māori in the protection of our bioheritage
connect with those people more likely to support and lead the necessary changes
build confidence in navigating around people who are hard to persuade, including explaining unhelpful ways of framing the issue
motivate people to act in support of legislation, policies and practices that build reciprocal and balanced partnerships between tangata whenua and tangata Tiriti for the protection of our bioheritage.
The guide has been developed from a literature review and The Workshop’s unique evidence-based framework of narratives for change for New Zealand’s Biological Heritage National Science Challenge | Ngā Koiora Tuku Iko | Adaptive Governance and Policy team, SO7.
