- Summary
- The Punakaiki Coastal Restoration Project (PCRP), located in Punakaiki, New Zealand aims to restore lands that were once utilized for mining and agriculture to a more natural state. Current management of the restoration project involves a partnership between Rio Tinto, Conservation Volunteers New Zealand (CVNZ) and the Department of Conservation (DOC). CVNZ is a non-government environmental organisation operating in Australia and New Zealand utilising volunteer input from overseas visitors and local communities. CVNZ is responsible for project management and implementation. DOC acquired ownership of the land in 2010 and a Memorandum of Understanding between CVNZ and DOC was signed in December 2012.
