Other New Zealand Programs
Over the past several years DSF has held various workshops, symposia, lectures, screenings and lecture series throughout New Zealand. Those include a major "Translocation Workshop" near Cambridge, on the North Island, and five years of annual symposia on Stewart Island/Rakiura, called "Island Fest". This latter series brought dozens of great scientists, filmmakers and artists to Stewart Island to present new films, and discussions of ecological importance for the public. In the latter two years of the Island Fest series, the lectures were also held in collaboration with the Southland Museum and Art Gallery in Invercargill.

For full transcripts of the Translocation Workshop, as well as the roster of speakers for the five annual Island Fest symposia, see the following PDF files below.
