🌿 Exciting News from Our Terrestrial Ecology Team! 🦎

We’re thrilled to share that Trudy has officially received her Wildlife Act Authority to handle native lizards — a significant milestone that reflects her dedication to conservation and species management. Congratulations, Trudy!

This authority, issued under the Wildlife Act, allows Trudy and supervised e3s staff to carry out essential work with our unique native lizard species, supporting research, monitoring, and conservation initiatives that help protect these incredible animals and their habitats.

We’re proud to support professional development that directly contributes to the care and protection of Aotearoa New Zealand’s biodiversity.

📍 If you have any upcoming projects involving native lizards in Otago or Southland, feel free to get in touch — we’re now fully permitted and ready to assist.
