Ipukarea is literally translated as ‘our heritage’.
Te Ipukarea Society (TIS) is a proactive nongovernment environment organisation (NGO) formed to help look after our heritage.
Our philosophy is that we do not own our land and marine resources but borrow them from our future generations, and need to leave them in good condition.
We are a collection of individuals and groups who desire a sustainable healthy and beautiful environment.
We are members of IUCN and Birdlife International.
We have among our staff and membership well respected scientists and active campaigners for environmental sustainability.
TIS is managed by a voluntary committee who are elected by members, as per our constitution, at our Annual General Meeting.
Paid staff and volunteers attend to the day-to-day running of TIS.
