New Canterbury Biodiversity Website Launched!

New Canterbury Biodiversity Website Launched!

A 'one-stop shop' website has recently been launched for Cantabrians who appreciate our region’s unique and varied wildlife and ecosystems.

The Canterbury Biodiversity website is designed to link people with information, like-minded people and a wide range of biodiversity projects.

Biodiversity is important as it gives our region, and our country, a unique character and makes a significant contribution to overall global biodiversity. We can appreciate nature for its beauty and recreational benefits, but it also provides cultural and economic benefits such as medicinal uses.

Check out http://www.canterburybiodiversity.org.nz/ to find out more and discover what you can do to help protect our natural heritage.
