Kauri are one of the largest and oldest living organisms on earth and they may vanish forever with the onset of the Dieback disease. The last of our greatest natural treasures are rapidly disappearing. Te Mauri o te Kauri ‘The Life-force of the Kauri’ is an exploration of Kauri ecology and the role this giant tree plays in forest ecosystems. The film explores natural history and cultural perceptions, expressing the life-force of this magnificent tree so that people can understand it better and see the forest in a different way.
Weaving stories from Māori and Pakeha Scientists, mingling the concepts of cultures to show how they complement each other and shape our understanding of the environment, this film takes us on a journey through the Kauri lifecycle and exposes the imminent threat from the rampant disease that is wiping out the last remaining forest giants.
