Honour Te Tiriti o Waitangi:

Forestry must uphold Tino rangatiratanga and respect hapū interests. Forestry practices to care for forests and their workers should align with mātauranga Māori.

Ecological Wisdom:

Forestry must protect and regenerate soil, water, and biodiversity. Plantings must be guided by the concepts of ‘right tree in the right place’ and ecosystem restoration.

Social Responsibility:

Forestry must safeguard cultural, spiritual, ecological, and recreational values. The industry must meet the needs of local communities, hapū, workers, and future generations.
