title: The value of native biodiversity enhancement in New Zealand: A case study of the greater Wellington area

authors: Kaval, Pamela

subjects: New Zealand

abstract: New Zealand’s biodiversity consists of over 80,000 native plants, animals and fungi, many of which are indigenous and located on private property. To enhance native biodiversity and discourage activities that may deplete it, policies can be introduced that can encourage individual self-interest to coincide with social interest. Economic values for biodiversity can help to determine the best policy tools to use. In this project, we surveyed Greater Wellington Region households to determine their biodiversity enhancement values using the contingent valuation approach. Greater Wellington respondents placed a significant value on both private land biodiversity as well as public land biodiversity.

title: Ten years of the Waikato Journal of Education.

authors: McGee, Clive

subjects: education

abstract: The article reports on the 10th volume of 2004 Waikato Journal of Education, a cause for celebration and special comment. The journal's origins are closely linked to the origins of the School of Education at the University of Waikato. The school was formed from amalgamation of a teachers' college and university education department in the early 1990s. A Department of Leisure Studies was added soon after. Together, over 100 hundred academic staff worked in the broad field of education, notably teacher education, the education disciplines' and sport and leisure studies. These tertiary teachers ranged in experience from those who had established research reputations to those who had little or no published work.
