A study of co-management of National Parks in Aotearoa/New Zealand
1996
Irwin, David
National parks have been associated with public ownership and Government agency management for a long time. The changing character of national park ownership and management around the world has challenged this association. Consequently, Co-management of the National Park Estate is currently the subject of heated debate in this country. The Treaty Principles, international soft law and an increasing number of examples of co-management of national parks overseas suggest co-management of national parks in this country is appropriate and viable. Partnership in management of the Conservation Estate is part of the Crown's initiative for dealing with redress to Maori. This report examines current inconsistencies regarding partnership relations between iwi Maori and the Department of Conservation. It is argued that co-management should take place within the context of national parks in Aotearoa/New Zealand. Options to work towards co-management are identified and discussed. Areas where further research is required is identified and an agenda for how research might be undertaken is discussed.
