Concern for the protection and management of the whenua/land was the inspiration for The Landscape Foundation's publication Kia Whakanuia te Whenua. Global and local impacts such as climate change, biodiversity loss, water pollution and structural issues such as government policy and neoliberal economics are affecting global and local habitats as well as how we perceive, relate to and care for them. This is at the heart of issues for landscape practitioners, Māori, ecologists, and many others.
