The Underdogs of Biodiversity

Aotearoa is a beautiful and unique land filled with natural wonders. Many of us are enamoured by its flora and fauna, yet a world of tiny critters goes unnoticed and underappreciated.
Over 20,000 species of insects inhabit Aotearoa. They underpin and promote our terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems, yet many are under threat, leading invisible lives of desperation.
Learn more about these amazing and irreplaceable Underdogs of Biodiversity with ecologists Jacqueline Theis and Connal McLean of the Otago Entomology Society.
