Fossil fuels aren’t just used for transport and energy – they’re also used to make everyday products.
As we move away from fossil fuels, where else can we find these materials?
Combine forestry with advanced manufacturing and industrial biotechnology and the answers can be found in our forests. 👇

Visit our Scion team at Fieldays® to explore science, technology and innovation that can accelerate your business! Here are some of the areas we would love to talk to you about:
💡 Distributed Manufacturing - Mini factories that use residues from production forests, or horticultural, crop and natural fibres to create new wood products, biochemicals and biomaterials.
https://lnkd.in/dEqExjbq
💡Home-grown Bioenergy - There is enough energy left over in forestry residues and other woody waste, such as from orchards, surplus pulp logs, and sawmill chip, to entirely replace the heat and energy demands of all New Zealand’s dairy factories, six times over.
https://lnkd.in/gWUqyq24
💡 Biorefineries at the heart of new industries producing novel chemicals derived from radiata pine, indigenous and exotic plants.
https://lnkd.in/dXtzUQJE
💡 Scientific breakthroughs in the study of nature and how to mimic it have fuelled a biotechnology revolution. Scion is leading the way for New Zealand in this area and supporting industry to solve some of the world’s biggest environmental challenges.

In our first Sports4Nature factsheet, we explore how sport can protect nature and avoid damage to natural habitats and species.
The factsheet explores:
• The importance of sport venue and event location
• Risks and opportunities
• And how to put Principle 1 of the Sports for Nature Framework into practice

(Piano music stops)
Kiersten - Welcome to Ten Things I Like About… This is a podcast about misunderstood or unknown creatures in nature. Some we’ll find right out side our doors and some are continents away but all are fascinating.
This podcast will focus ten, ten minute episodes on different animals and their amazing characteristics. Please join me on this extraordinary journey, you won’t regret it.
The second thing I like about bats is Megachiroptera. If you remember from the last episode, which I’m sure you do, Megachiroptera refers to the Old World bats found in Asia, Africa, Australia, and some Pacific Islands. These are the larger bat species and in this episode we’re going to take a closer look at them.
You may know Megachiroptera by their more commonly used name, Flying Foxes. They get the name from the fact that their faces look a lot like foxes. You may also hear these bats referred to as the Old World Fruit bats or megabats, There is only one Family under Suborder Megachiroptera and that is Family Pteropodidae. There are approximately 170 species of megabats but keep in mind we are always discovering new species of animals and scientists are always rearranging classifications based on new information.
Where are Megachiroptera found? They can be found in Asia, Africa, Australia, and on a few islands in the Pacific Ocean. It is often said that they are Old World species only. That refers to the fact that they are not found in the Americas. No Megachiroptera are found in North, Central, or South America. Since I live in North America that make me a little sad because megabats are freaking awesome!
What kinds of habitats are these bats found in? That is often dictated by what they eat and most Megachiroptera are frugivores. So, they will be found where fruits are very plentiful. This places the bats in forested habitats that have large fruit bearing trees for our bigger species and medium size fruits for our smaller species. Forests seems to be the typical choice of most Megachiroptera because it offers the most variable fruit.
So what do they eat? We just answered this question. Most Megachiroptera eat fruit. Fruit makes up the majority of their diet, but an occasional flower or leaf might get thrown in the mix. It’s very interesting to watch fruit bats eat because they don’t actually eat the pulp of the fruit. They bite into the fruit and chew it into a pul
