About me...

[edit]

Hello! My name is Kimberley Collins, I am a conservationist and science communicator from Dunedin, New Zealand.

I completed my Master’s of Science Communication at the University of Otago on how scientists use social media to engage people with complex topics[1]. I have worked for a range of conservation organisations in New Zealand, including Forest & Bird and Zealandia Ecosanctuary. In 2018, I established my own business called Fledge Media, a communications agency that focuses on conservation and science issues. I have done work for a range of clients, including iNaturalist NZ — Mātaki Taiao and the Antarctic and Southern Ocean Coalition[2]. In 2020, I will be working for the Dunedin City Council doing community engagement for the Urban Linkage, a project within the Predator Free Dunedin movement.

Photography

[edit]

I love to get outside to take photos of New Zealand's wildlife and wild places, as well as environmental actions and events. I upload most of these to Flickr[3] under a CC BY license[4] so please feel free to use them and upload to the Commons as required.

Projects

I am a great starter of projects but notoriously terrible at finishing them.

New Zealand seashore species

[edit]

New Zealand is an island nation with more than 15,000 kilometres of coastline. Three-quarters of us live within 10 kilometres of the ocean and many have spent time fossicking in tide pools. Despite this, our focus tends to be on terrestrial (land-based) species and few New Zealanders would be able to recognise or name more than a handful of seashore species.

Part of my focus on Wikipedia is figuring out how many of New Zealand's seashore species have pages and assessing their quality. I hope to create pages for those that are missing and improve/expand those that need it.

This project was inspired by Sally Carson and Rod Morris' Field Guide to the New Zealand Seashore.

This is a working list for my reference. Please feel free to contribute as you like.

"Nudibranchs and other sea slugs are a fascinating and diverse array of marine molluscs that occur all over the world’s oceans, from the surface of the open sea, to shallow continental shores, to the deep sea."

Antarctic species

[edit]

When people think of Antarctica, penguins, whales, and seals often come to mind. But the Southern Ocean is home to a rich and diverse community of nearly 10,000 species that are uniquely adapted to live in its waters. Many are endemic, meaning they are found nowhere else in the world.

This project involves creating and updating pages about some of Antarctica's lesser-known species. It is informed by the Register of Antarctic Marine Species (RAMS).
