Management of our natural resources has been and will continue to be a complex and contentious intergenerational issue. This complexity arises because of the many interrelationships and interdependencies between environmental and social systems involved in natural resource management, as well as the legacy of past decisions. The contentiousness arises, in part, because natural resources are typically finite and shared, where people hold different values regarding their appropriate use.

A group model building workshop (using the qualitative system dynamics approach to systems thinking) was held in November 2013, with the following aim: Map the wider environmental system that the natural resources sector operates within and better understand the linkages between land, freshwater and marine systems. To achieve the proposed aim, the workshop was split into three groups that each looked at each sub-system (land, freshwater and marine) to make the approach achievable in a day. The groups met subsequently to refine their work. The systems maps that emerged from this process, together with a climate system map, were subsequently combined to form an integrated systems map covering the wider environmental system in New Zealand. This map was subsequently analysed for feedback conne...
