This Conservation Week, join us for a relaxed, drop-in BioBlitz celebrating the incredible flora and fauna of the Whakatipu Basin.
What is a BioBlitz?
‘Bio’ means ‘life’ and ‘Blitz’ means ‘to do something quickly and intensively’. Together they make ‘BioBlitz’, a collaborative race against the clock to discover as many species of plants, animals and fungi as possible, within a set location, over a defined time period.
LOCAL EXPERTS
With guidance from experts, you’ll explore local biodiversity and learn how to document species using iNaturalist.
Your observations will contribute to the global City Nature Challenge, and align with Conservation Week led by the Department of Conservation.
EVENT INFO
Expect guided walks with local ecologists whilst learning how to use iNaturalist to record the diverse species in the area. Our experts will be covering topics such as using AI for conservation, climate advocacy and endemic/invasive species. Come and go as you please, our volunteers will be on hand throughout the day to help with any issues!
