This project page records Wikimedia initiatives carried out with the
New Zealand Department of Conservation (DOC).
The DOC offices at Fox Glacier and Franz Josef have several filing cabinets of archives, including:
From December 2022 to June 2023 the Franz Josef DOC office is using Jobs For Nature funding to employ casual staff from Franz Josef Glacier Guides to scan these archives, assisted by User:Giantflightlessbirds, using an Epson 700 flatbed and Hasselblad X5.
The New Zealand Wikipedian at Large, User:Giantflightlessbirds, worked with the kākāpō/ takahē recovery team in Invercargill, December 3–7 2018, to improve the coverage of both species.
To Do
This Wikidata project aims to create identifiers for all living kākāpō. The kākāpō data for cleanup prior to importing into Wikidata: Google sheet
To Do
Threatened NZ species on Wikipedia currently display badges showing their TCS category, but the version used is years out of date. It is possible to display both the IUCN and TCS categories on a species' article, but this is almost never done. The category needs to be updated, and rolled out to NZ threatened species articles, especially Critter of the Week.
To Do
Note the formats for showing two statuses in a taxobox, and the template IUCN has for its assessments: would be good to create something similar for DOC.
| status = CR
| status_system = IUCN3.1
| status_ref =<ref>{{IUCN|id=22685245 |title=''Strigops habroptila'' |assessor=BirdLife International |assessor-link=BirdLife International |version=2013.2 |year=2013 |accessdate=26 November 2013}}</ref>
| status2 = NC
| status2_system = NZTCS
| status2_ref = <ref name="NZTCS"/>
The Critter of the Week (CotW) project, which originated when Nicola Toki was DOC's Threatened Species Ambassador, now has its own Wikiproject at Wikipedia:WikiProject New Zealand/Critter of the Week.
