Testimonials

“We’re firm believers in trying out tools and technologies to help us in our massive restoration task - there is no rule book for what works best and we have to be smart and strategic in our approach. A lot of technology advances have helped make our work easier - the mapping tools from Eco-index are some of those game-changing advances. They guide our decision making on where and how much ecosystem reconstruction to do, and how much it will cost. It’s fantastic to have scientific and budgeting data to underpin our work plans.”

Sean Zieltjes, Pouārahi Taupua/Acting Project Director

“Eco-index is providing cutting-edge intelligence for land planning and biodiversity investment. By combining leading environmental datasets and interpretative layers, backed by science, they equip land stewards with powerful tools to prioritise their efforts and resources. It would not be feasible for us to gather all of this data on our own, let alone have the technical expertise to make sense of it. And now we also have an easy visual mapping layer to use when communicating with our stakeholders and watershed partners.”

Matthew Monahan, Co-Steward
- Mangaroa Farms & Biome Trust


“Navigator X is a great tool for community and stakeholder engagement. It has the capacity to empower our community by visually highlighting the potential and ease at which ecosystem restoration can happen in our district.”
