Meet the Architects of the Streams

Saturday, March 28, 2015 @ 12:30 pm - 5:00 pm

Bindiya Rashni, a passionate freshwater macro invertebrate scientist, has carried out extensive work on the flora and fauna diversity in the Wetlands of Fiji and Solomon Islands

Join Bindiya for a trip to Nabukavesi waterfall and discover the animals, their in-stream habitat preferences and how they act as bio-indicators for a healthy stream.

Expect to see damselflies, dragonflies, caddis flies, mayflies, aquatic moths and more.

Participants working in small teams will have fun sampling freshwater macro-invertebrates from the river, examining the diverse animals and learn the ecological importance of each individual collected.
