About the show

Welcome to Talking Taiao! This show aims to inspire and support people, businesses, and communities to value our local taiao (environment) and act to prioritize sustainability. We focus on positive, educational and uplifting discussions, showing how a culture of kaitiakitanga (guardianship of the land) can make Taranaki a thriving region for all! Made by the team at Sustainable Taranaki.
