Project work produced by students of the Masters of Conservation Biology degree (VUW & UNSW): 2007
We present the prize-winning work of a group of Masters students currently enrolled in a Masters of Conservation Biology: a degree which involves study at both Victoria University of Wellington and University of New South Wales. The project brief was to develop a management plan or set of eco-tourism material centred around a site of conservation value in the Coromandel Peninsular of New Zealand. In previous years student groups have developed proposals for World Heritage sites, produced management plans for island reserves, audits of a marine reserve or they have developed a set of science education material for use by local eco-tourism operators. In all cases, the outputs have been used and taken forward by the community and/or government departments.
[More specific details of the project being highlighted will be available after 1 June, when the winning group of students have submitted their project work for 2007. At the timeof the conference the students involved will have just transferred across to UNSW from VUW]
