Maintaining biodiversity is a cornerstone of sustainability. In this episode of our Sustainability podcast, our guests discuss the decline of native species, management of predatory species, ecosystem restoration, and how biodiversity loss impacts our oceans, wetlands, and forests. They discuss the value of diversity, with a focus on tracking pests and restoring the Toheroa shellfish, along with the value of maintaining partnerships with Māori and local communities when developing sustainable solutions.
Our host Dr Sarah-Jane O’Connor is joined by two Master’s students, Tessa Thomson (Ngāti Raukawa ki te Tonga, Ngāti Tukorehe) and Ellen Carlyon, to talk about their current research around biodiversity in the New Zealand context.
