This report describes the outcomes of the Scoping Study and presents a proposed research approach for the phase two Pilot Study. The goal of the second phase (Pilot Study) is to produce a set of community-identified wetland values that will contribute to the development of an indigenous ecological wetlands classification at a regional scale. This will be achieved through a field research programme working with the elders of a single community. The Pilot Study will also be used to test and refine the research approach identified in the Scoping Study (and described in this report) so that this approach can be more readily adopted in other areas.
