Welcome

Welcome to the Centre for Biodiversity and Restoration Ecology (CBRE) at Victoria University.

Our focus is biodiversity research applied to the need to identify and restore depleted populations, species and communities in ecosystems that have been impacted by human activity.

Based in New Zealand, our research focus extends into adjacent areas of the Pacific and to collaborative initiatives elsewhere in the world.

CBRE aims for both excellence in scientific research, and delivery of the end product of that research in a form that directly benefits conservation management, the local community and the commercial sector.
