What do kaitiakitanga, sustainability, and rahui tapu mean in relation to Quail island?
I think kaitiakitanga relates to Quail island because it's about keeping the island safe and protecting its native plants and animal/birds. They are trying to get rid of all the animals (eg. possums, rats) that are destroying the native plants, eating quail eggs, etc. Sustainability is similar to kaitiakitanga as well, it's getting rid of the bad things to keep the good things. So growing the native plants again and making sure pests don't ruin them. Rahui tapu is restrictions, so people who visit Quail island aren't allowed to pick the plants and stuff because they are trying to get them to grow and keep the population on the island back up again.
