Late last year, BioHeritage made two important connections in Tauranga – as part of a collective effort to create a world-class biosecurity system for Aotearoa New Zealand.

Cutting-edge technology is enabling scientists to identify what a wild rat had for dinner, which bacteria are in soil, and to see DNA analysis in real time.

A new tool that predicts which pest insects are likely to invade New Zealand will help us get prepared to fight them before they arrive.

Understanding and balancing community values associated with managing a forest is a challenge facing a Māori group in the North Island.

Researchers are developing a customised seed-mix that can be planted to grow large-scale forests of native vegetation as easily as farmers sow pasture.

A hapū near Whangārei is the latest recipient of a seed-bank enabling them to collect and store seeds from local taonga plants.

Kauri dieback and myrtle rust research to be accelerated.

Field trips designed to teach students about the science behind protecting New Zealand’s primary industries such as kiwifruit production.

Tauranga Moana Biosecurity Capital was launched in November 2018, with support from the BioHeritage Challenge and others.

The unsung heroes of our groundwater system could hold the key to helping clean up our waterways.

Property owners involved in Kauri Rescue find out if phosphite is helping their trees fight kauri dieback disease.

The cultural value of black swan eggs was highlighted when three were gifted to Ara executives.

Researchers have identified a single DNA extraction method that detects species in a wide range of environments.

Congratulations to Jacqui Gibson – our $5,000 Aotearoa NZ Science Journalism fund grant recipient.

Kauri Rescue’s newest ‘super ambassador’ is distributing phosphite kits to help people treat kauri dieback on their properties.
