About the Project

Bio-Community online

The Action Bio-Community project is building capacity for biodiversity management in councils and communities across New Zealand. At this site you will find information about the latest developments in the project.

The "Toolbox" part of this site contains resources, case-studies, key reference material and contacts. It will be continually growing and developing over the next year. The Toolbox resources are helping councils, communities and other agencies to "turn the tide of biodiversity loss".
