 Neighbourhood Biology
New Zealand
Email: mgardner@clear.net.nz
Website: www.converge.org.nz/nbio
Type: NGO
Scope: national
Interest in Forestry: peripheral
Description
we are an action-orientated approach helping people take the initiative in re-creating their local places
-- plants, animals and people.
Neighbourhood Biology is a uniquely New Zealand way of doing things. It began with the shellfish monitoring
project at Cheltenham Beach, Auckland. This project is now in its seventh year and well
known for its community involvement in scientific monitoring and its use of rahui (harvesting ban) as
a conservation tool.
Our aims as a national group are straighforward -- to promote interest in local ecology and to assist
action at local level concerning the conservation, restoration and enhancement of local ecology.
