Sustainable Conservation Conference
We are excited to share our Sustainable Conservation Conference Program with you!
We know New Zealand’s heavy use of poisons is damaging our environment and putting our flora and fauna, as well as people at risk. We are ready to have a discussion on the positive changes necessary to bring about the shift away from poisons to an ecologically sound approach that takes the whole ecosystem into consideration. We firmly believe that we can change our ways, it will however, take collective effort and positive solutions.
Please join us for this important conference on April 6 & 7 at the beautiful art space and theatre, Lopdell House in Titirangi, Auckland.
We are humbled to be hosting a diverse group of speakers from around the country, including Professor Ian Shaw, Toxicologist from the University of Canterbury and Professor Wayne Linklater from the University of Victoria, who is a researcher of Wildlife Biology & Human Dimensions Ecology. A huge thank you to all our wonderful speakers - this wouldn't be possible without you, we look forward to lively and informative discussion surrounding the problems we are facing and the variety of positive solutions we can embrace.
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
