Scientific biosecurity has become an important approach for managing the threats to Kauri trees and plant management in Aotearoa/New Zealand, and Wales more generally.

This webinar hosted Insight Wales, will discuss the social scientific understandings of biosecurity, and review the use of biosecurity science for the protection of trees in Aotearoa New Zealand and Cymru Wales, reporting on qualitative interviews and focus groups in both places.

The speakers,  Sara MacBride-Stewart (Cardiff University) and Liz O’Brien (Forest Research), will discuss how the biosecurity system is  fragmentated and the consequences this has for indigenous Māori knowledge and for the implementation of biosecurity practices more widely.
