Workshop - Wai-262 and Natural Science Collections Management



The collection management landscape within natural sciences is currently changing to meet the national obligations under Wai262 and international obligations under the Nagoya protocol. This affects the protocols and polices of Museums, Crown Research Institutes (CRIs) and tertiary collections around field collecting specimens, documentation, managing access, use and sharing of natural science collections, genetic samples and data. It is important that the natural science collections remain relevant for researchers by ensuring appropriate practices and protocols are in place that respond to and address the changing legislative landscape. Some disciplines within the natural sciences are more developed than others in terms of practice and policy so this workshop is an opportunity for all to share their experiences and practices with others. There is still a lot of discussion to be had, work to be done and shared so that the developing approaches, partnerships and standards within New Zealand institutions that hold natural science collections are consistent and well communicated across a number of communities - museum, scientific, cultural, conservation and government.

The workshop will include:

·         Invited speakers



Aroha Mead                Research Associate, Mātauranga Māori/Indigenous Knowledge and Indigenous Cultural & Intellectual Property Issues

Maui Hudson               Associate Professor, Faculty of Maori and Indigenous Studies, University of Waikato

Wendy Nelson            Principal Scientist, Marine Biology, NIWA

Aaron Wilton               Researcher – Systematics & Biodiversity Informatics | Director – Allan Herbarium, Manaaki Whenua – Landcare Research



·         Interactive Workshop and Discussion – How high level needs and responses to Wai 262 and Nagoya obligations can distil down to practical frameworks and operational policies.

·         PitoPito Korero – Problem hack session: Ideas worth acting on and a clear way to make them a reality.
