Cultural and ecological baselines inform an eco‐cultural vision for Weka (Gallirallus australis) restoration in southern New Zealand

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Eco‐cultural restoration requires targets that reflect cultural values and ecological conditions. We present an integrative approach combining cultural and ecological baselines to inform future eco‐cultural restoration of Buff weka (Gallirallus australis hectori), a flightless bird of deep cultural significance to the Ōtākou Māori
