🦜✨ For over a decade, Dragonfly data scientist Yvan Richard has been quietly helping to keep Bird of the Year fair and fun. Now, Dragonfly Data Science has officially joined the flock as the verified vote-counting team for the 2025 competition! 

From quirky campaigns and international stunts (looking at you @iamjohnoliver 👀) to hundreds of thousands of passionate votes, ensuring fairness is no small task. That’s why Yvan built a transparent dashboard to track every vote, flag anomalies, and keep the competition soaring. 

Two decades on, Bird of the Year has become more than just a vote, it’s a nationwide celebration of the unique birdlife of Aotearoa and a powerful model for conservation engagement.
