Biosecurity Awards
The 2020 New Zealand Biosecurity Awards winners are announced ...
The New Zealand Biosecurity Awards recognise and celebrate outstanding contributions to protecting our country. It's our way of celebrating people and organisations across New Zealand who are contributing to New Zealand's biosecurity – in our communities, schools, businesses, Māori organisations, iwi, universities, councils and in government.
It takes all of us to protect what we've got but there are a few champions worth celebrating and we are delighted to announce our 2020 winners.
