National Biodiversity Monitoring – What We Do in Southland

Leanne Miller from DOC’s National Monitoring Operations team will share what DOC does to monitor biodiversity across Aotearoa, including here in Southland.

I’ll give an overview of our team and how we’re the on-the-ground crew delivering a range of national projects. This includes projects like Tier 1/LUCAS monitoring, tracking tunnels, and some of the local work we’re involved in, such as mōhua monitoring.

It’ll be a bit of a behind-the-scenes look at what field monitoring actually involves, why it matters, and how the information we collect helps support conservation. I’ll also share a few photos from the field along the way.
