At Manaaki Whenua we conduct science and research focused on environmental issues, opportunities, and solutions. We aim to create value for Aotearoa New Zealand (AoNZ) through our research, people, and partnerships.

We have seven science portfolios that focus on four areas of impact:

  • restoring biodiversity and beating invasive species.
  • enhancing land, water, and ecosystems.
  • acting against climate change; and
  • achieving a positive relationship between people and their environment.

You can read about the value we seek to add through our research and innovation in our most recent strategy document, Te Āpōpōtanga – Our land, our people, our future

We have approximately 400 staff at seven locations across New Zealand and collaborate extensively with other research organisations in New Zealand and around the world. Our researchers are supported by sophisticated technology, analytical laboratories, and specialised support such as legal and graphics services, communications and business development, and an extensive specialised library.

The largest of our research sites is at Lincoln, which is also home to our corporate office. We also have offices in Auckland, Hamilton, Palmerston North, Wellington, Dunedin and Alexandra.

Manaaki Whenua is a leading proponent of triple bottom line reporting (economic, social and environmental performance) by companies and businesses. We have an ISO 14001 certified environmental management system, and we are a founding member of the New Zealand Business Council for Sustainable Development.
