Restoring ecosystems

Aotearoa’s unique indigenous biodiversity has been, and continues to be, under pressure from numerous endogenous and exogenous pressures. This group will undertake research and consultancy for external clients at global, national, and landscape scales. Key research foci are the current and future state of these ecosystems and the species within; species and ecosystem function; their resilience to existing and future shocks; the value of our ecosystems in supporting society; the improvement of degraded species and ecosystems; and the curation of Aotearoa’s national collections and databases which inform these areas.
