WORKING TOGETHER FOR GREATER BIODIVERSITY

What and who is Biodiversity Hawke's Bay?

Formally established in 2018, Biodiversity Hawke’s Bay is a regional community-led 'for purpose' organisation established to work with, and on behalf of, the community to deliver on the objectives of the Hawke’s Bay Biodiversity Strategy 2015-2050.

What is the Biodiversity Hub?

At Biodiversity Hawke’s Bay, we work to connect, facilitate and enable community action for biodiversity. We are the go-to hub for information, expertise, services and networks, so that community groups doing biodiversity projects are well supported.  

How can the Hub support the Hawke's Bay community?

We can help with administrative tasks, so that community groups can focus on the 'on the ground' project work. Examples include:
• Administration, financial and project management services
• Links to relevant expertise and training, via our website and network of experts
• Help attract funding for biodiversity projects across Hawke’s Bay
• Provide a communication channel, including social media, press releases and newsletters to share information about activities and achievements
• Offer an annual contestable Biodiversity Hawke's Bay Grant fund for community projects
• Act as a liaison and encourage partnerships between the region’s councils and community groups for biodiversity projects
