Te tūhura i ngā panoni hauropi o tētahi wāhi whakahirahira ki te Māori
This standard asks you to investigate how environments (especially places significant to Māori) are changing ecologically, and to explain the science behind those changes. You'll look at what's happening to plant and animal populations, food webs, and the natural features of the area, then explain what's causing those changes and what effects they have on Māori communities and the environment itself.
You describe what ecological changes are happening in the place and identify the ecological concepts involved, and you explain what is causing those changes.
You explain the ecological concepts connected to the changes, discuss why the changes are happening, and explain the impacts on Māori communities and the wider environment.
You discuss how the ecological changes and their causes connect to impacts on Māori people and knowledge systems, and you integrate Māori perspectives alongside scientific understanding throughout your explanation.
