Ahi Pepe MothNet aims to engage students and whānau with moths, nature and science.
Although this Citizen Science project is no longer working directly with schools, teachers can still access all of the free classroom resources and Identification Guides. These can be downloaded from the website (click on the button on the left).
Ahi Pepe | MothNet started in late 2015 with a Participatory Science Platform project and four Otago schools. In 2016, they expanded across the South Island with funding from Unlocking Curious Minds. This allowed them to produce the South Island series of the Puka Whakamārama o Te Pepe Nui - Beginners' Guide to the Macro Moths and expand our science experiment to include 14 schools.
Over the summer of 2017/18, with funding from Unlocking Curious Minds, Biological Heritage National Science Challenge, and Manaaki Whenua - Landcare Research they produced the North Island series of the Puka Whakamārama o Te Pepe Nui - Beginners' Guide to the Macro Moths, expanding our Te Reo Māori science resources.
