The Turning Point follows a new generation of kaitiaki who value the wellbeing of their whenua. From north to south, they’re helping their communities protect and connect with Aotearoa’s natural environment despite the very real anxieties of the climate crisis.  They have only one thing on their minds: to make a difference!

Whether it’s learning new skills, monitoring rare birds, or trying to wipe out some hungry rodents, their work is filled with ups and downs, wins and losses – and we’ll be along for the ride.

A positive and cinematic series of portraits that give a glimpse into the lives of the passionate individuals behind Aotearoa’s conservation efforts.
