Backyard Biodiversity

Our featured project this month is “Backyard Biodiversity”, a research and citizen science project hosted by Manaaki Whenua Landcare Research. It highlights the benefits that people and the environment derive from caring for, and enhancing “backyard biodiversity” - that’s the plants and animals all around us in our garden, school, city park, cemetery, local bush patch, farm, roadside, beach or estuary.
