Rangitōpuni Pekapeka
The project
Rangitōpuni Pekapeka is a new project in the works bringing together Te Kawerau a Maki, Community Waitakere, Kaipatiki Project, The Ecology Studio Ltd and Tou-Roa Ecology to set up a new community monitoring program for long tailed bats in the Rangitōpuni/Riverhead Forest area.
The work
We have been brought in as the specialist bat ecologist and advisor for interpretation of the acoustic surveying carried out by Kaipatiki Project, production of reports for funding applications, planning for the project timeframes, production of the Wildlife Act permit, and overseeing the catch and tag program. We also initiated bringing in Marc Choromanski from The Ecology Studio Ltd to add some local bat expert knowledge to the already highly skilled pool of stakeholders.
This project is looking to kick off in November of 2026.
