The Turning Point - a new RNZ series launching on Sunday

From Afternoons, 1:14 pm on 16 November 2023

In the new six-part video series The Turning Point, a new generation of kaitiaki across Aotearoa take on the challenge of protecting and restoring our natural environment, paving the way to a more hopeful future. Each episode introduces key people involved in high-stakes conservation projects, funded through the Covid-19 recovery Jobs for Nature scheme.

Each episode follows one worker, giving a glimpse into the communities they work with and telling the story of their journey into conservation.

They look at how they got to where they are now, what their day-to-day jobs look like, the challenges facing the affected species and their conservation efforts and the impact of their work.

Director Steph Miller speaks to Jesse.
