Organisations
All New Zealand local government organisations have some obligation relating to biodiversity in their region or territory. Crown Research Institutes, government departments and ministries, museums, universities, private sector organisations, associations and other non-government organisations are also involved in biodiversity data management.
Organisations involved in local government biodata management are listed below with a link to their external website, as well as links to information held on Dataversity about their practices, systems and any people who are members of Dataversity.
