“We’ve seen with the recent floods how protection of these types of rivers – only found in a few other places globally – is critical to the survival of the area’s biodiversity.’’ The Lower Rangitata initiative will be led by Te Rūnanaga o Arowhenua, and the Upper Rangitata, spearheaded by the Upper Rangitata Gorge Landcare Group. Part of the Department of Conservation’s Nga Awa river restoration programme, the Rangitata is one of fourteen rivers of significance. “The Upper Rangitata project will see farmers and landowners partnering with DOC and other agencies to fence off stock, restore wetlands, trap pests, and propagate and plant eco-sourced and culturally significant natives in a joint move to improve water quality and enhance biodiversity values along the riverbank,’’ Allan said.
