The changing distribution & uses of Raupō #indigenousknowledge#Aotearoa
The common raupō once kept NZ’s wetlands and lakes thriving – now it could help restore them
Māori used all parts of raupō for weaving and food, but the plant also kept lakes healthy. This connection between cultural and ecological roles means its fate is closely linked with people.
I used to be asked how to kill it. People, including local authority wastewater managers, preferred open water
