Classification Environment Māori > Māori Environmental Management Available grade Achieved Explanatory notes 1 Where the local rohe is occupied by a number of iwi or hapū, the tangata whenua or mana whenua view will take precedence. Other iwi or hapū views should be encouraged in order to enrich and enhance understanding of key Māori concepts and practices. 2 Descriptions and explanations can be presented in a number of ways that may include oral presentations, visual presentations, written presentations, whakaari, haka, whaikōrero and waiata. 3 Legislation relevant to this unit standard may include: Hazardous Substances and New Organisms Act 1996; Te Ture Whenua Maori Act 1993; Treaty of Waitangi Act 1975; Resource Management Act 1991; and the Biosecurity Act 1993. 4 Definitions Biotechnology – any process which uses nature to develop products. Biotechnology includes genetic engineering, transgenics, bioprospecting, and cloning. Genetic engineering – manipulation of hereditary material, usually accompanied by selection of a trait or property derived from manipulation through normal cellular process. Transgenics – organism with a genome modified by including genes from another organism. Transgenics does not normally refer to the rearrangement of the genome of the same organism. Cloning – amplifying the number of a particular molecule of DNA using normal cellular processes. Cloning an organism refers to making genetically identical copies of the hereditary material and all cellular components. Bioprospecting – the search for commercially valuable genetic features of flora and fauna. Mauri – life principles, life force.

Kaitiakitanga – refers to Māori environmental management systems evolved to protect and enhance the mauri of taonga and ensure the sustainable use and management of natural and physical resources. Whakapapa – genealogy, connections. EPA – Environmental Protection Authority (Te Mana Rauhī Taiao).
