This standard asks you to evaluate an environmental/conservation issue from a Māori worldview perspective. You need to explain Māori attitudes, values and beliefs about that issue, consider other people's views too, and judge how well the issue reflects Māori thinking. You should also think about how to improve the environmental approach to better reflect Māori perspectives.
