Kia Whakanuia te Whenua | People, Place, Landscape is the Landscape Foundation's first book. In this podcast series we interview the book's authors, exploring their views on the complex challenges of te ao hurihuri - a world in change. These conversations offer new ways of thinking about the whenua, land, and our relationship with her - we confront the pain of Indigenous alienation, biodiversity loss, pollution and climate change, and sound a global call for action to together protect and care for our places.
