The Kauri Rescue Story Map is an interactive experience that tells the story of how scientists have worked with mana whenua and communities in Kauri Rescue, a citizen science project researching tools to fight the devastating disease kauri dieback.
The story map takes you on a journey through three inter-connected stories – Kauri Demise, Kauri Rescue and Kauri Futures. In a time when kauri dieback is having devastating impact on kauri forests in northern New Zealand, the story of Kauri Rescue is a story of hope.
On your journey through the Story Map you can view 360 degree videos that enable immersive experiences when using Virtual Reality goggles. You can also engage with interactive maps to see the changing landscape of kauri lands, and you can listen to sound recordings that capture the narratives of people working to save kauri…one tree at a time.
We hope you enjoy your journey.
