Preserve, nurture and protect our indigenous native forest, offset rising CO2 humans emit daily, restore natural habitat for NZ Native Birds and Animals

Manaaki Whenua Landcare Research have identified three crucial elements to enable our native bird populations to thrive — plenty of food, predator control and quality habitat...https://t.co/OlgqUCHdTc @mwlr_nz

@farmgeek @PatrickHerd @Brad_Kul They use them as a jungle gym where I come from :)

The destruction of the internationally significant Foulden Maar fossil site near Dunedin (https://t.co/qBzLnNks7M) by Malaysian owned Plaman Resources for pig food/palm oil needs to be stopped. You can do this @EugenieSage @Megan_Woods @DavidParkerMP @NanaiaMahuta @DavidClarkNZ

@JanetMackinnon7 @HoneyBeeGeek NZ is the ideal R&D lab to develop new solutions to these pressing challenges.
We can play a part in helping these big emitters meet their obligations.
I can't buy into the 'Business as usual..cos were too small' approach.
We have to Think Different now.

@AklEcol Nice post Ellen! With a background in complex distributed IT systems I have seen many instances where a seemingly small change in one component triggers an out of control cascade in connected systems.
This is happening in our ecosystem.
Helluva ride ahead😱

@juliajones110 thanks Julia for an engaging presentation at the Development West Coast event this evening.. you certainly got the room thinking and talking!

Delightful to see a flock of Tauhou (Silvereye. Zosterops halmaturina) arrive this morning. Feeding on insects (while in flight) and berries.

@Forest_and_Bird Great initiative @Forest_and_Bird! When interacting with trees remind them to look all the way down to ground level. There exists a fascinating world of Funghi with a strong symbiotic relationship to our trees.

@VeronikaMeduna @ConversationEDU The OurTrees forest is only 12ha, protected by a @QEIINatTrust covenant. Our goal is to do everything humanly and technologically possible to support the natural biodiversity in our regenerating Beech forest.

Great work @birdsongnz .. agree that Machine Learning / AI is the most practical approach to this challenge. I wrote a post along these lines.

#CacophonyProject Technology is being used to find out the South Island Kōkako. This precious bird with a beautiful haunting song was once declared extinct but hope remains of finding it alive.

Great presentation thanks @jennypannell Driving around the West Coast I love it when there's a stand of native beech or kahikatea in the middle of a paddock. Provides habitat for our birds and some shelter from the elements for stock, plus eco benefits.

@DOCTSAmbassador @docgovtnz @nzgoodnature @PredatorFreeNZ Solid result there. My rats seem reluctant to tackle the weka guards..but they are there for a good reason as seen at end of video https://t.co/H080qGZaGR

Entertaining activity around our GoodNature A24 traps. NZ Beech Forest, West Coast, Haupiri region. 9 hits counted since Nov-18 (none on video tho). Using Rat/Stoat bait. Next check - Easter weekend @nzgoodnature @docgovtnz

AI heat camera is 3.5x more sensitive than trail cameras for possum detection...

Here's the initial results from a trial funded by @OSPRI_NZ to test the sensitivity and cost of different possum detection methods -

@AlanBruuuuce OK... got this working _BUT_ you must download and flash the latest version of SMOS onto a USB stick first !!

The last couple of months have seen us make more improvements to our #Cacophonator hardware. The changes made have been driven by the demands of upcoming projects and targets. Check out what we've been up to with batteries and audio in our latest blog post https://t.co/Lf3h98xXBX
