The Makirikiri Tarns feature several islands which have preserved pre-Polynesian flora. Bogpine shrublands on these islands survived the fires which so altered most of the vegetation on the Mangaohane Plateau. Both the Makirikiri Tarns and nearby Reporoa Bog are wetlands that occur in Maori land owned by the Aorangi-Awarua Trust. The Trust allowed DoC to include forests on their land into the recent 1080 operation, and is actively involved in monitoring the ecology of the area.
