【 摘 要 】

Conservation translocations—particularly those that weave diverse ways of knowing and seeing the world—promise to enhance species recovery and build ecosystem resilience. Yet, few studies to date have been led or co-led by Indigenous peoples; or consider how centring Indigenous knowledge systems can lead to betterconservation translocation outcomes. In this Perspective, as Indigenous and non-Indigenous researchers and practitioners working in partnership in Aotearoa New Zealand, we present a novel framework for co-designing conservation translocations that centre Indigenous peoples and knowledge systems through Two-Eyed Seeing. We apply this framework to Aotearoa New Zealand's threatened and underprioritized freshwater biodiversity. In particular, we highlight the co-development of conservation translocations with Te Kōhaka o Tūhaitara and Te Nohoaka o Tukiauau that are weaving emerging genomic approaches into mātauraka Māori (Māori knowledge systems), including customary practices, processes and language. We envision the Two-Eyed Seeing framework presented here will provide a critical point of reference for the co-development of conservation translocations led or co-led by Indigenous peoples elsewhere in the world to build more resilient biocultural heritage.
