Welcome to

EcoNet

Aotearoa New Zealand has many conservation ambitions – to be predator free by 2050, to improve weed management, increase native planting, catchment management to restore our waterways, to ensure biosecurity and manage biodiversity. 

This will require millions of hours of work by actively engaged volunteers, local groups, iwi, organisations, councils and government. It is more than an in-field activity challenge, it is also an information management and social engagement challenge.

What are the issues?

Researcher

I want to search, filter, download, compare, collate and analyse conservation data. Having all the information from across the country collected and presented in a consistent, structured and time & geo-referenced manner would be a dream.

Volunteer

I want to understand how to help, know about events, report my hours, work with a team, report a pest sighting or organise bait delivery and be acknowledged for my work.

Parks Officer

I want my restoration groups to have the best IT tools available to ramp up their conservation effectiveness.

Coordinator

Our information is in various XL spreadsheets! It’s so time consuming to analyse data in formats that I can use in reports and share with others. Our team now has a unified contact list and can work more efficiently together.
