Public talk on data's role in conservation
University of Canterbury professor Ann Brower is hosting a free public talk at the South Canterbury Eco-Centre. PHOTO: UNIVERSITY OF CANTERBURY A free talk on how data can be used to improve the conservation of New Zealand's unique landscapes is set to be held at South Canterbury Eco-Centre next week. Along with the Canterbury branch of the Royal Society of New Zealand, the eco-centre is co-hosting University of Canterbury professor Ann Brower's public talk "Saving the world — one data point at a time". In her talk she will discuss how her research of the Mackenzie basin and Canterbury's braided rivers illustrates how science and data can be used to improve the conservation of New Zealand's unique landscapes and biodiversity, and has helped protect 5% of New Zealand's landmass. Prof Brower teaches environmental science and geography at the University of Canterbury. In 2018, Universities New Zealand won the Critic and Conscience of Society Award for her work to change the nation's Building Act, and in 2022 the University of Canterbury honoured her with the Innovation Medal for her research impact in policy and regulation at the national level. She was also named the 2022 Charles Fleming Award winner. Prof Brower holds a bachelor of arts from Pomona College, California, a master's in forest science from Yale University, a master's in political science from the University of California, Berkeley and a PhD in environmental science, policy, and management from the University of California, Berkeley. The talk will be held at the South Canterbury Eco-Centre on May 14 at 7pm. Those wishing to attend can pre-register their interest via the South Canterbury Eco-Centre website. — APL
