Following the restoration of Roto Kawau, Zealandia’s lower reservoir, visitors may have noticed that this year in particular the place is absolutely buzzing with dragonflies and damselflies! As Zealandia Te Māra a Tāne shines a light on their freshwater ecosystems there is no better time to discuss these incredible creatures.
Join Zealandia Te Māra a Tāne for a kōrero/talk led by dragonfly ambassadors Ruary Mackenzie Dodds and Kari de Koenigswarter to learn what species they have living there in the sanctuary, what makes some of them particularly special, and why they are so important to our freshwater ecosystems.
Venue: ZEALANDIA Eco-Sanctuary, Waiapu Road, Karori, Wellington
