ABSTRACT

Throughout 2019 we embarked on a scoping process that figured out where to target research for impact for the next five years, in both National Science Challenge and Ngā Rākau Taketake investments.

This process brought together people from all walks of life who had in common a drive to collaborate and to see real change for our biological heritage. Ten teams focused on nine areas – identifying what would deliver the most on-the-ground impact, what had previously been underfunded, and what sectors just needed more cohesion to start tracking in the right direction.

Their recommendations were distilled into the BioHeritage investments
