is long-running. In New Zealand local communities commonly collaborate with government agencies in restoration projects, with many taking on responsibilities for project management. Inherent in this approach is a broad range of philosophies, motivations, skills
and perceptions of the process aimed at ecological gains. They surveyed restoration practitioners at both community and agency levels to explore the different perceptions of what constitutes restoration success, and how this was measured. They found all stakeholders
perceived their projects to be successful, although differences the perception of determinants and measures of success were evident.</span><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Lato",sans-serif;color:#232333"><br style="box-sizing:border-box">

<span style="background:white"><span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Agencies with ecological management responsibilities follow systems-level attributes of success although monitoring is often limited
to those that are easiest to measure. Community-based practitioners identify with gains in ecosystem structure, but their measurements of success tend to be species focused, possibly because of the ease by which such outcomes can be measured and, especially
for New Zealand, focused by widespread publicity about threatened species and impact of invasive species.</span></span><br style="box-sizing:border-box">

<span style="background:white"><span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Although all restoration stakeholders aspire to universal outcomes of improved ecological status, for many community-based participants,
social motivation and rewards may be as important as their environmental stewardship intentions. This webinar will highlight the scientific and social duality of modern ecological restoration, using a long-running New Zealand restoration project, Tiritiri
Matangi Island, as a case study.</span></span></span><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";color:#222222"><o:p><span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> </span></o:p></span></p>
