Pou Titirangi

The severe challenges confronting bioprotection require a step change in how pathogen, pest and weed incursions are managed. This pou advances understanding of the systems that can meet future bioprotection challenges, including a focus on Indigenous and community-led approaches.

Research in this Pou looks at the deeper structures that shape our response to biosecurity threats, from governance and policy to social systems and the ways communities connect with the land. By weaving mātauranga Māori and other Indigenous perspectives with systems thinking and ecology, Pou Titirangi supports new approaches to protecting ecosystem health and resilience.
