Auckland Council supports many events where researchers, mana whenua and community share conservation updates, scientific progress and valuable on-the-ground experiences.
Our role is to capture, synthesise and share the key messages of these events to ensure the latest ideas and information are available to the wider conservation community.
We love working at these events because we get to use our skills and experience in science translation, knowledge sharing and audience understanding.
Check out our Hot Takes from the 2026 National Pekapeka Hui:
“It has been a pleasure to work with Catherine on these projects. Her professionalism and creative thinking (and rethinking) has been absolutely refreshing.”
