The project was funded by the Lincoln University Research Fund (LURF). Abstract This report presents the findings from a qualitative study investigating the impacts of climate change-induced biophysical changes to resources housed within protected areas. The project follows a study which investigated biophysical changes, tourism stakeholder and management perspectives and challenges, and visitor use and experiences in Westland Tai Poutini National Park. Altogether, 15 interviews – with tourist operators and park managers at Aoraki/Mt Cook National Park – were undertaken in November 2014. While environmental (climate) changes were perceived to have directly impacted on visitor use of the park, they were commonly discussed in the context of broader changes in visitor behaviour and demand, and in the supply of nature-based tourism products. Biophysical and social changes to tourism and recreation within the park also impacted on, and were impacted by, management decisions and policies pertaining to conservation and visitor use.

Tongariro National Park is an outstanding international site with values unique in New Zealand. Its landscape and cultural values attract hundreds of thousands of visitors each year. With these visitors come issues, including conflict between users, impact on the environment and the need to maintain protection of the taonga acknowledged by the Gift from the Tūwharetoa people to the nation, which formed the nucleus of the park. There is a special relationship between the iwi of the Volcanic Plateau and the mountains of Tongariro National Park. The relationship is a direct connection between today’s people and their ancestors. The Ngāti Tūwharetoa and Ngāti Rangi people are the kaitiaki of the park. This plan has been prepared by the team in the Tongariro/Taupō Conservancy. It expresses the department’s intent and directions for management below the strategic level of the Tongariro/Taupō Conservation Management Strategy. It is consistent with the General Policy for National Parks 2005 and with the National Parks Act 1980.

    Indigenous forest once made up much of the land cover in the region. Biodiversity on land Biodiversity on land, or terrestrial biodiversity, includes the plants, animals and ecosystems that are based on land. The arrival of humans radically changed New Zealand’s indigenous biodiversity. Introduced animals have preyed on or competed with native species, or degraded their habitat. Exotic plants also became widespread as settlement progressed. Natural ecosystems and indigenous species have also been affected by human activities such as land development and clearing of native vegetation. A number of Council programmes are helping to protect forest remnants and control pests to encourage indigenous terrestrial biodiversity in the region. We work alongside private landowners, providing practical initiatives to protect and enhance biodiversity on private land. To ensure we are protecting significant habitats in the region adequately, we also monitor the condition of prioritised ecosystems and biodiversity sites across the region. Our pest control operations focus on controlling introduced animals and plants that threaten prioritised biodiversity sites. As a result, the condition of significant biodiversity sites across the region is generally good or very good. ‘The arrival of humans Forty percent of Taranaki’s land area is currently in indigenous radically changed New forest and shrubland. Whilst the region’s native forest has Zealand’s indigenous greatly reduced since the arrival of humans, Taranaki compares well to the rest of New Zealand, which has about 24% native biodiversity.’ forest cover. It is estimated that since the arrival of humans, around 60% of Taranaki’s indigenous forest and shrubland has been cleared, particularly on the intensively farmed ring plain and coastal terraces.

    Integrated Tourism Management Case Study: Use Limits on the Tongariro Crossing ESTABLISHING INTEGRATIVE USE LIMITS ON THE TONGARIRO CROSSING, TONGARIRO NATIONAL PARK FINAL REPORT AUGUST 2007 Paul Blaschke, Blaschke and Rutherford, 34 Pearce St, Wellington 2, New Zealand, [email protected] Pauline Whitney, Boffa Miskell Ltd, PO Box 11 340, Wellington, New Zealand, [email protected] The work reported here is a case study for the project “Integrated planning and managing of natural areas for tourism-related development”, funded by the New Zealand Foundation for Research, Science and Technology. Views expressed are not those of the Foundation for Science, Research and Technology, nor of the Department of Conservation. i Integrated Tourism Management Case Study: Use Limits on the Tongariro Crossing ii Integrated Tourism Management Case Study: Use Limits on the Tongariro Crossing Executive Summary Natural areas attract considerable tourism growth in New Zealand and internationally; while at the same time there is increasing concern about managing the environmental effects of tourism. This action case study addresses a number of management issues for the Tongariro Crossing (the Crossing) in the Tongariro National Park (TNP), New Zealand. Use of the walk has increased rapidly in the last 15 years and many users and managers now feel that the social carrying capacity is being reached or exceeded at times. As well as issues around the number of walkers, there are issues around the management of physical impacts on tracks and vegetation, management of human waste, cultural impacts of large numbers of visitors to an area of great importance to Maori, social impacts of different user groups, marketing, safety management, road-end management, and options for commercial guiding services.
