Research from @EcologyVictoria & @zealandia shows participation in #backyardconservation in #NZ is related to people’s connection to #nature @CK_Woolley @StephenHartley6 @shanahandanz @PplCitiesNature @WellingtonUni doi.org/10.1002/pan3.1…

@brentsheather @zeborah @KereruDiscovery Yep it’s kowhai, and the kereru will eat their leaf buds as they are rich in nitrogen.

@zeborah @KereruDiscovery Thanks,that makes sense,they are all over our kowhai at present.

This kererū was trying to defend the tree from being taken over by another kererū. Winter food sources can turn them a little crazy. 🤪

Happy to share a chapter of my PhD thesis that it is now published. Does the exclusion of introduced mammals within fenced reserves enhance invertebrate diversity and thus, their conservation? or other factors are taking place? @StephenHartley6 @shanahandanz

We're excited to again be part of the Great Kererū Count. It runs nationwide for a week, starting tomorrow. Instructions are at greatkererucount.nz Keep a close eye out for Aotearoa's most handsomely chonky bird.

@PredatorFreeNZ Sobering statistics, but there is a consistent theme emerging - deep endemism, large body size and nesting habit also predict national trends in atlas data (Walker et al: doi.org/10.1016/j.bioc…) and site-level responses to mammal control (Fea et al: doi.org/10.1111/cobi.1…)

A shocking study has revealed that ⅔ of our birds are worse off than 40 years ago 💔 The impact of predators like rats, stoats and possums can not be underestimated. nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/articl…
