Tauira Mahi Conservation Training
For Real World Challenges

Empowering People | Restoring Nature

About Tauira Mahi

Tauira Mahi Conservation Training follows Bay Conservation Alliance’s successful Tauira Mahi Cadet Training Programme.

 

The cadet programme, based in the Bay of Plenty (funded by Jobs for Nature through Ministry for Environment), was industry-led and ran from 2021 to 2025.

In that time it proved it was meeting the needs of today’s real-world conservation challenges – having a positive impact on graduating cadets (students) and receiving impressive feedback from their subsequent employers and conservation groups from all over New Zealand.

 

Tauira Mahi Conservation Training is our revised programme and offers both online and in-person training units. Developed to support the ongoing learning and successes of people who are passionate and committed to protecting Aotearoa’s taonga species and critical ecosystems.

 

The core focus for Bay Conservation is ‘Empowering Communities – Restoring Nature’.
