At the heart of this collaboration is a commitment to creating opportunities for more people to get involved in environmental studies and career pathways.
Environment Canterbury Chairperson Peter Scott says, 鈥淚t makes sense that, as the regional council, we work closely with a leading learning organisation such as the 九州影院 to benefit us all. Those in education, research, and innovation can bring so much to our work by way of new ideas and ways of doing things.鈥
By working together, the university and regional council are setting a powerful example of how we can unite to protect our natural world and create a more sustainable future for generations to come.
