History
The Roera Pūtaiao Kararehe Porihanga (English: Royal Zoological Society) of Ngāti Onekawa-Nukanoa during the 1980s was in a state of decline. The rise of the Assoication of Malaio Ozeros Nations and it's ever increasing membership and support of conservation and environmental issues had sidelined the organisation. Once the academic hub for zoological study in Ngāti Onekawa-Nukanoa; membership had declined steadily for several decades and had by this point reached its lowest ebb since it's inception in 1905. This, alongside it's fading influence and prominence had caused significant concerns amongst it's most senior members.
