Welcome to Monicalogues!

Monicalogues was originally set up to create a forum for communicating my PhD research on community environmental groups, restoration and citizen science to a wide audience. Since completing my PhD in 2016, I’ve continued to work on projects throughout Aotearoa that lie at the interface between science, the public, land use and biodiversity conservation.
In more recent years as people+science Ltd, the site:
• provides summaries of key citizen science and environmental restoration workshops, seminars, conferences and events
• showcases community-led ecological restoration action and biodiversity conservation initiatives, New Zealand and international citizen science projects and programmes

Thanks for sharing your site Monica! Very keen to connect and work out how we can share findings on our projects?
