Welcome to Talking Taiao! Our mission is to inspire and support people, businesses, and communities to value our local taiao (environment) and act to prioritize sustainability. In Talking Taiao, we will do our very best to have positive, educational and uplifting discussions showing how a culture of kaitiakitanga (guardianship of the land) can make Taranaki a thriving region for all! Made by Sustainable Taranaki.

 

Every fortnight we interview a different guest who has an exciting story to share that will help us to understand our natural environment and how we can all play a part in the future our whenua.

  

This show is created and made possible by Sustainable Taranaki. Sustainable Taranaki is a charitable trust that was started in 1992 in Inglewood by a group of progressive environmentalists. It now has grown and expanded its outreach but keeps the same vision of prioritizing our environment.
