Our vision is for increased recovery of native biodiversity over extended areas of New Zealand. Research at the Centre is providing new, effective and humane tools and techniques for reducing populations of invasive mammalian pest species and for monitoring biodiversity increase. We aim to contribute to the creation of sustainable environmental, social and economic outcomes in the field of conservation. Through collaboration with communities, Māori, pest control practitioners and research partners, we aim to provide international leadership in the development of innovative pest management tools and strategies to enhance conservation efforts both within New Zealand and internationally.
Our multidisciplinary CWMC team and collaborators includes experts in animal ecology, wildlife management, pharmacology, toxicology and design engineering.
