resource management

Kei te ngaro haere ngā tohu taiao o Aotearo o te ao whānui hoki, pēnei i te wai ora. Ko te mate hoki kāre e āro ana te tangata me pēhea e whakatika, mā wai, me pēhea e whakarite, ka patua tonu. I te tau rua mano tekau ma iwa ka whakaetia te Kāwanatanga me tū te awa o Whanganui hei tangata i raro anō i tōna ake mana. Ahakoa he mea rerekē tēnei ki te ao Pākeha, ehara ki tō te tikanga Māori. Ko te kaupapa o tēnei tuhituhi he pātai mena koianei te huarahi, ina ra te whakatangata i ngā tohu taiao kia rite ai ki te ture Pākeha, kia ngāwari ake te whakatikatika haere.

Biological and physical disturbance has had a severe impact on New Zealand's endemic flora and fauna. Along with the lessons of the past, predicting the sensitivity of communities to disturbance in the future may help direct more attention to those communities with a greater need for preservation (i.e., a lower ability to recover from any such disturbances). In theory it is possible to measure the resilience (or local stability) of a community by constructing a matrix to describe that community and then examining its eigenvalues.
