“We hope that this website is used by a variety of environmental managers, researchers, policy makers, NGOs and interested individuals. The main idea behind preparation of a full proceedings was to allow others who were not present to learn from the hui. We hope that visitors to the site, whether or not they attended the actual hui, will continue the dialogue by participating in our ‘Forum’ website.”
