Join us for a powerful evening of film and conversation exploring nature-based climate solutions in Aotearoa.
Curated and hosted by Wao, in partnership with Pure Advantage and WAI Wānaka, the feature of the evening is the premiere of Think Like a Forest, a compelling new documentary that makes the case for the Recloaking Papatūānuku initiative, an urgent and ambitious programme to restore our indigenous forests and wetlands at scale.
Join hunter, fisher and bushman Sam The Trap Man on a journey as he profiles the deep connections people have with native forests and the role they play in building resilience in our landscapes for climate and community.

We’ll also screen a new short film from WAI Wānaka and host a kōrero with Simon Millar (Producer of Think Like a Forest and Executive Director for Pure Advantage) and David Norton (ecologist), moderated by Jose Cranfield (WAI Wānaka).
Come early! From 6pm, enjoy a chance to mingle with like-minded attendees and our guest speakers. We’ll have nibbles on offer, and the bar will be open. The event kicks off at 7pm sharp.
