Te Ahunga Whakamua me Ngā Mahi i Oti 2001/02

(Te taio, ngā mahi pāpori, te teha ki ngā iwi, te taha ōhanga)

DOC is using LENZ to underpin their Natural Heritage Asset Management System (NHAMS) for prioritising conservation management. MfE is providing LENZ to local government for environmental reporting purposes.
Kei te whakamahia ā LENZ e te Papa Atawhai hei tautoko i tā rātou punaha ā NHAMS. Kei te tukuna ā LENZ e te Tari MfE ki ngā kaunihera ā rohe mō ā ratou mahi tuhi purongo mō te taiao.
Our 10-year kiwi research programme at Waikaremoana concluded. It showed that kiwi populations recover when stoats are eliminated. Tuhoe and DOC are now managing the kiwi recovery programme.
Kei a Tūhoe inaianei, me Te Papa Atawhai, te huarahi hei para mo tēnei mahi, arā, kia maha ake ngā kiwi i ngā ngahere.
Kukupa (wood pigeon) numbers increased in an area of Northland forest, following intensive possum and rat control. This concludes our part in the joint project with Ngāti Hine and DOC.
Kua tino piki te maha o ngā kukupa i te ngahere o Mōtatau, i te takiwā o Whangārei, i muri i te pēhitanga o ngā paihama me ngā kiore. I mutu atu i konei te wāhanga ki a mātou i roto i te kaupapa mahi tahi ki a Ngāti Hine rāua ko Te Papa Atawhai.
Public sector clients funded $6.1 million of our work. Manaaki Whenua is the preferred research provider for DOC and AHB (>70% of AHB’s research investment in 2001/02 was with us).
$6.1 miriona tara te utu o ā mātou mahi katoa mō te Kāwanatanga. Ko te nuinga no ngā tari e rua, a Te Papa Atawhai me te Animal Health Board.

NGā TINO WāHI MATUA HEI MAHI

Ko ā mātou mahi pūtaiao kei te hāpai i te iwi mā te te whakarite tikanga tikai taiao i ngā mea kikino, me te ārai i ngā pānga o ngā riha kino atu o te taiao a Aotearoa.

We are developing BIOSECURE with MAF and DOC. It will enable border control authorities to assess areas potentially at risk from invasive species, and will help prevent unwanted pests establishing.
Ko BIOSECURE he taputapu kia taea ai ngā Mana ārai i ngā Whaitua o te Whenua te aukati i ngā kararehe kino atu i tēnei whenua.
Our biological control of weeds programmes are beginning to have significant impacts on some weeds.
Kei te pai te haere o ā mātou mahi patu tarutaru mai te motu whanui.
