Protecting your whenua for the future
Placing a kawenata, or covenant, on your whenua is one way to protect the natural biodiversity of the land. Whānau can work with organisations like Ngā Whenua Rāhui and the QEII National Trust to set up a covenant.

Putting a kawenata on your whenua with Ngā Whenua Rāhui
Ngā Whenua Rāhui work in partnership with whānau to protect and preserve the indigenous biodiversity of Māori land across New Zealand.

Protecting your whenua with a QEII covenant
A QEII covenant is a permanent way of ensuring your whenua and the indigenous ecosystems it supports are protected – both today, and for generations to come.
