Our Project team is Dr Vincent van Uitregt, Tania Te Huna & Cecelia Kumeroa (with Tapiri o te Rangi Pirikahu for further developments). For the Bus Shelter project we have created design work which correlates to the specific migration patterns of our local Kūaka & beloved long distance special bird, AJD.
There is a broader Kūaka Collective team & we will update details about everyone in our international whanau shortly. Our Kūaka is the Bar-tailed Godwit (Limosa lapponica baueri).
We would like to thank Paul Gibson for the use of his photographs on our bus shelter project and also we would like to acknowledge Jane Gibson who together with Paul are part of the local birding community who have generously shared all their information about AJD and the kūaka at our Teawatupua Estuary.
