Kaimātai Hauropi | Ecologist
Kaihere | Associate Partner
As an expert terrestrial ecologist, I have led and been involved with a wide range of challenging and complex projects across the South Island.
I work with and provide ecological advice to clients, project managers and other environmental professionals. I often manage multi-disciplinary teams and sub-contractors and collaborate with other ecological experts.
I specialise in the survey and assessment of terrestrial and wetland ecological values and the preparation of Ecological Impact Assessment reports for complex projects, including infrastructure reports in sensitive environments. My project work also involves the preparation of ecological management plans, advising on restoration projects and GIS mapping and analysis.
I have prepared evidence for Council, Environment Court and Board of Enquiry hearings and am a Certified Environmental Practitioner with the Environment Institute of Australia and New Zealand (EIANZ).
