Hunt for jewelled gecko
—Neville Peat
Young conservationists from Broad Bay School on Otago Peninsula learn about threatened jewelled geckos from Otago University scientist, Nadja Schneyer. The Forms One and Two students were studying geckos at the Every Scientific Reserve at Broad Bay, as part of their activities with Forest and Bird’s Kiwi Conservation Club. From left are: Jenna Dickson, Danielle Ingle, Nadja Schneyer, Oliver Wates, Olivia Raffils and Jenah Ferguson. Nadja Schneyer is conducting her M.Sc research into predator impacts on the geckos in the reserve. The shrub-dwelling jewelled gecko Naultinus gemmeus is found only on the east coast of the South Island and possibly at Stewart Island. The small Every Reserve, purchased in 1993 with the assistance of the Dr Marjorie
Barclay Trust, has been a stronghold for the species.
