                                                    Overview of Wai 262 Claim

                                                    * Known as the flora and fauna claim.
                                                    * Seeks rights around indigenous flora and fauna and other taonga.
                                                    * Taonga includes traditional knowledge and intellectual property rights over cultural ideas, design, language and much more.
                                                    * Legislation is said to breach the Treaty of Waitangi in this respect.
                                                    * Claimants also say the Crown has breached the Treaty by failing to protect tino rangatiratanga (sovereignty) and kaitiakitanga (guardianship) over flora, fauna and other taonga.
                                                    * Last year the Waitangi Tribunal released a chapter of its report on Wai 262, finding Te Reo Maori to be nearly at crisis point.
                                                    * The Tribunal will release the complete wai 262 report at Roma Marae in Ahipara on the 2nd July 2011.
