David Chittenden's Company Details
Tiakina te taiao ki tōnui a Aotearoa. He whenua mana kura mo tangata.The Ministry's role is to be a long-term steward for the environment, and is underpinned by the aspiration of making New Zealand the most liveable place in the world. Being good stewards means making sure future generations have the same opportunities we did, such as; access to healthy land, air and water, being surrounded by unique and diverse native flora and fauna, having outstanding scenery and recreation opportunities, living in thriving communities, benefitting from a strong economy and enjoying a connection to the environment that goes to the heart of who we are as Kiwis.The Ministry cannot achieve this alone. We need collaboration and innovation from all New Zealanders; across our forests, farms and factories, in our cities and in our homes. But we can help set the direction and inspire people to play their part and make the best decisions for their environment and country.Although we take a long term view, we are acting today. That's because we know the full implications of the choices we make take time to bear fruit.
