DOC Sounds of Science - Conservation Tech

Technical advisor Stuart Cockburn talks to us about his scientific innovations, which are world-firsts and have been critical in protecting native species.

Stu’s responsible for kākāpō snarks, track counters, seabird soundscapes, grasshopper detectors and much, much more. He also once got into a one-way fight with a great spotted kiwi (the bird started it,) and is directly responsible for Nic getting questioned by airport security. All in a day’s work for Stu.

Hosted by our Threatened Species Ambassador, DOC's Sounds of Science podcast offers a behind-scenes-look at how we care for NZ's native species and natural environment. Click on the links above or download from your favourite podcast provider.
