Indique cuáles han sido los resultados/logros obtenidos en el marco de las actividades realizadas:
In 2018 and 2019 the New Zealand government Budgets increased funding substantially for conservation of biodiversity research, including a major increase of funding for terrestrial conservation, funding for research on the control of invasive mammalian predators for the Department of Conservation, in the Science Challenges programmes for Sustainable Seas and for Natural Heritage. On the other hand the government has allowed industrial fishers to reduce their contributions over the years into fish stock status and we still have a shrinking budget overall for fisheries related "conservation services programme" research.
¿Qué esfuerzos se están llevando a cabo para superar dichos obstáculos?:
The increased conservation funding to the programmes above has been a huge boost, but this is very much dependent on the political party and ministerial portfolio allocation. It may be difficult to maintain this funding if the government changes.
