Community Waitakere’s project on the pekapeka tou roa. In an attempt to create a better
understanding about the pekapeka tou roa including their presence and behaviour in West

environmental artists and share information about the pekapeka tou roa. Mitch and Sophie
discuss the findings of their research as well as the threats they are facing before chatting to
Mandy about her work as an environmental artist and the exhibition itself. To begin,
Mitchell asks Sophie to exactly what the pekapeka tou roa is.
