#10 Mike Edginton (Chief Information Officer - Department of Conservation)
A Conversation about a Career in Conservation - Mike Edginton, once had a job at the New Zealand Department of Conservation (DOC) as a "recreation planner" - dream job! He is now the Chief Information Officer, which sounds a lot more grown-up.
Mike tells us about where two seemingly incongruous things meet - nature and technology - and the great work that DOC does to both protect and promote the very identify of New Zealand, our conservation areas.
Mike's work takes him from decoding sound files of bat calls using artificial intelligence to using remote sensing technology like drones and satellite to gather data about New Zealand's precious flora and fauna.
