Conservation efforts in the wake of increasing temperatures w/ DOC's Drew Bingham: 30th March, 2026

A new report by the World Meteorological Organization has found that 2025 was among the three hottest years on record. 

High temperatures pose significant risks for our native wildlife, particularly our shorebirds, fish, and alpine birds. As we see a change in the needs of our native species, many of which are already endangered, the response from the Department of Conservation must also change. 

To discuss what DOC is doing as climate change continues to impact conservation efforts, News Director Castor spoke to Principal Science Advisor with the Department of Conservation, Drew Bingham.
