Jacqui Forbes - Para Kore & Te ?o M?ori - a podcast by Little Empire Podcasts

Production Note: Some of this conversation was featured in our last episode. This episode contains the conversations with Jacqui, in its entirety.


Waveney chats to Jacqui Forbes (Ng?ruahine), the Kaihaut? Matua (General Manager) for the M?ori zero waste organisation Para Kore. Starting with Poihakena Marae in Raglan/Whaing?roa, Para Kore now has now touch almost half a million participants at wananga, events and presentations.


Jacqui is sharing knowledge with and between marae throughout Aotearoa to reduce waste and pass on methods to work with the environment. Her philosophy is steeply grounded in a Te Ao M?ori perspective and using mythology like the M?ori creation story - borne of the separation of Papat??nuku and Ranginui, we can look at we humans as being the youngest creatures inhabiting the land. Respecting that we are part of nature and thus need to protect our fellow living beings felt very normal to Jacqui from a young age and she shares stories from her upbringing which still inform her approach today.
