EcoNet

EcoNet collaborates with community groups, Iwi, councils and national bodies to accelerate conservation outcomes.

EcoNet is a charitable trust which leads innovation in data standards and access to fit-for-purpose software for conservation by developing CAMS: Conservation Activities Management System.

Tens of thousands of participants drive conservation in Aotearoa – volunteers, coordinators, managers, contractors, council staff, iwi and hapu. Too many do not have software designed to handle the complex range of management, communications, planning, recording and reporting needed.

That means $16,000,000 a year or 800,000 hours of practical work are lost, putting ambitions like a predator free Aotearoa at risk. Volunteers get disheartened and routine admin tasks are a burden.

Without a data standard it is extremely hard for researchers to do any analysis of ‘best practice
