Kotahitanga mō te Taiao Alliance Project Dashboard
The Kotahitanga mō te Taiao Alliance is changing the way we do conservation in South Island.
About The Alliance
The Kotahitanga mō te Taiao Alliance (KMTT) is changing the way we do conservation through an innovative collaboration between iwi, central and local government working across 3.4 million hectares of land and ocean at the top of New Zealand's South Island.
KMTT was formed in 2017 to collaborate on work to help people and nature thrive. Its vision sees the South Island's extraordinary natural heritage flourishing, having been restored at a landscape scale, including where people live. It aspires for people to live, care for and benefit from the environment in ways that support ecological and human resilience.
KMTT Strategy Aligned Projects
The scale and ambition of KMTT is unprecedented in New Zealand. To help meet the challenges of climate disruption and species loss, and achieve its vision for the region, KMTT has enlisted the support of The Nature Conservancy in Aotearoa New Zealand to become an exemplar for landscape-scale conservation work.
KMTT recognises and works across 3.4 million hectares around the top of the South Island to support projects that align with the vision identified in the KMTT Strategy. KMTT provides expertise, supports funding applications, shares knowledge, connects science and culture, champions iwi leadership and fosters training and collaboration. Its overarching work is to prioritise needs and focus efforts to achieve the best outcomes for people and nature.
