A past Science Teaching fellow   Hermann Frank  has been doing some great work in South Canterbury  helping to protect our Native lizards.
Listen to the story on http://www.radionz.co.nz/national/programmes/afternoons/20110316
He has also raising awareness of the importance of stone rows(below)  on the Canterbury plains as residual lizard habitat, and bringing Fonterra’s attention to the ways that dairy developments can work to minimise their impacts on these.         Thank you  Hermann for helping protect our native reptiles.
