Poutuarongo Kaitiakitanga Pūtaiao
Bachelor of Environmental Management
Te toto o te tangata, he kai, te oranga o te tangata, he whenua – Food supplies the blood of our people, our welfare depends on the land. Turn your passion for nature and science into a career as you deepen your connection to te taiao and hone your skills to become a guardian of our environment.
As increasing environmental issues continue to impact on the future survival of our natural resources across the planet, this three year degree will prepare you to make a significant contribution in this sector. Explore sustainability and ecological restoration strategies in relation to natural resource management, as well as aspects of environmental science and law. Consider ongoing concerns about food sources and supply, water sovereignty, waste and other issues alongside the roles and responsibilities of tangata whenua in the protection of our environment.
Learning occurs through a variety of mediums, including online deliveries, hands-on research and field trips, such as examining biodiversity on Kāpiti Island and monitoring a freshwater body for your hapū. You will learn to identify native birds and their calls, indigenous plants and their traditional uses. Environmental planning, eel fisheries, wetlands and other natural habitats feature strongly, as does building an awareness of alternative methods for sustainable and eco-efficient building construction.
As a graduate of the Kaitiakitanga Pūtaiao degree you will be equipped with the skills to support hapū self-determination and development aspirations for te taiao (our environment) within tikanga management frameworks. This includes planning and project management, negotiating local and central government constructs, cultural assessments and representation on environmental matters.
To enrol in this qualification you must first complete the Heke Kaitiakitanga Pūtaiao which is a one year diploma and the first year towards this three year qualification.
