Karioi Project - Te Whakaoranga O Karioi

Our committed team, volunteers and partners have been working to restore biodiversity together with the amazing support of the local community. The focus of the Karioi Project encompasses Karioi and its coastal escarpments and forest, wetlands, freshwater and marine habitats and communities to the north and south of the mountain from Whāingaroa Harbour to Aotea Harbour.
