What is Action Bio-Community?

Action Bio-Community(ABC) is a New Zealand-wide biodiversity project run in partnership between central and local government. The project helps councils work with their communities and other agencies to address biodiversity issues on land outside the conservation estate.

ABC is a project sponsored through Local Government New Zealand and the National Bio-Funds. It builds on the progress made during 3 years of funding by the Sustainable Management Fund between 2001-2004.

The project aims to build local capacity in biodiversity management - helping local government build skills, knowledge, contacts and experience that can make a real difference in turning the tide of biodiversity loss. The biodiversity toolbox is an important product from this project. It will continue to be built collaboratively over the next year.

Sarah Wilson, the project manager, will be working with council staff across the country as well as other agencies and groups that work with councils to make a difference for biodiversity.
