Useful Websites

[Dave Houston]

Post links to websites of a general nature that you think would be useful to other users along with a brief description of what the site is about (i.e. why it's useful!).  For species/issue specific sites please post them in the relevant board.

Here's a couple to start with ...

Sanctuaries of NZ - http://www.sanctuariesnz.org/

This website is designed to provide current, relevant, and best-practice information to those engaged in managing biodiversity sanctuaries in New Zealand, and to promote these sanctuaries to those interested in learning how they are contributing to New Zealand biodiversity restoration, or who may wish to visit them.

New Zealand Ecological Restoration Network - http://www.bush.org.nz/nzern/index.html

NZERN (New Zealand Ecological Restoration Network) is a non-profit, community-driven organisation dedicated to sharing knowledge and experiences about native habitat protection, management and ecological restoration in our special land - Aotearoa-New Zealand.

"Working together to ensure New Zealand is protected from the adverse impacts of invasive species."

The NZBI is an incorporated society with membership open to anyone interested in biosecurity issues. We organise activities on a local and national basis and produce the quarterly Protect magazine.

The Kereru Discovery Project has launched its new web page: http://www.kererudiscovery.org.nz/

• You can log on to the site, register what is in your garden, and report your sightings of kereru. We have over 500 reports to date.
• Our objective is to understand how kereru use urban and rural landscapes by compiling a sample of gardens and kereru observations from throughout the country. We look forward to receiving your reports!

The link is to  Reintroduction Specialist Group Conservation action tools.
Its filled to the brim of links and useful sites to go and look at things.  I've had it for a while and thought it might be useful to others.

Thanks to Doug Armstrong for distributing it in the first place
