TIER 2 — Conditionally Aligned
Te Urewera territory demonstrates strong ecological integrity with BIS 71.4 across 212,000 ha. Forest cover and species recovery trends are positive. Key concern: invasive willow spread along 18km of stream margins requires active management to prevent BIS degradation in water health subscore.
PCI recommendation: Prioritize willow removal programme in Zones 3 and 7 before next seasonal cycle. FPIC protocols are active and compliant.

Indigenous knowledge feed — verified by kaumātua
Seasonal flowering patterns — Manuka early bloom
Elder Hera Tūhoe noted manuka flowering 2 weeks earlier than maramataka cycle predicts. Consistent with 3-year trend. Signals thermal advancement in eastern slopes. Correlated with NIWA temperature data (+1.2°C baseline deviation).
Tuna (eel) migration pathway disruption
Traditional fishing custodian Matiu Parata reports reduced tuna sighting at ancestral harvesting site. Acoustic sensors confirm 60% reduction in fish passage events vs 2019 baseline. Upstream sediment load elevated post-storm event.
Kārearea (Falcon) nesting success — northern zones
Rāhui (conservation protection) established around confirmed nesting site. Ranger Waimārie Ngata confirmed 3 fledglings. Acoustic monitoring to continue for 60 days post-fledge. No human access permitted in Zone 4-N.
