With two other w\u0101hine M\u0101ori of Ng\u0101ti Porou, Bobbie Morice and Maria Smith, she tells that story in <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/e7d8jL9V8sQ\" target=\"_blank\">Down Stream<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<p>It\u2019s a story of floods and slips taking away homes and livelihoods, of vital communication lines and transport routes cut, and of the harm that forestry slash and farming continue to do. Over 130 years of damage done by pastoral farming and, more recently, pine plantations have left vivid scars on the area.<\/p>\n\n<p>Repeatedly cut off from the outside world, without power and electricity, and running out of food, medical supplies and other essentials, Tair\u0101whiti is facing the brunt of the climate crisis in Aotearoa.<\/p>\n\n<p>The two recent cyclones Gabrielle, and Hale before it, have had a profound effect on this already isolated region.<\/p>\n\n<p>With the increased destruction of transport routes and disrupted access to the outside world, also comes a realisation that transformation to a different way of working with the land is vital. Both mitigation and adaptation to climate change are not just nice ideas, in Tair\u0101whiti they\u2019re vital for survival.<\/p>\n\n<p>Farming has to be done differently, greater care must be taken with the way we use land, and emissions have to come down.<\/p>\n<div data-hydrate=\"planet4-blocks\/gallery\"
