Talking with the archaeologist Marcos Rauch G., from CONAF, we learn a general vision about the "manavai" as archaeological structures and features that contain a potential and meaning of great relevance for Rapa Nui in the current scenario of climate change and in the context of the CONAF/KLORANE project for a demonstration garden of native plants in the Mataveri Otai sector.
In an interview with the Maori maea (master expert in stone work) Lonti Paoa, we learn details about his family background and his experience in relation to working with stone. Lonti has built manavai in various places and is now focused on the construction of manavai for the CONAF/KLORANE project of a demonstration garden of native plants in the Mataveri Otai sector.
This video presents the context that gave rise to the project "Conservation of the native flora of Rapa Nui, Easter Island", presented by CONAF and which won the 2021 Klorane Botanical Foundation international competition.
