Landcare Research (Māori: Manaaki Whenua) was a New Zealand Crown Research Institute whose focus of research was the environment, biodiversity, and sustainability. The New Zealand government placed the institute into the newly-formed New Zealand Institute for Bioeconomy Science on 1 July 2025. Manaaki Whenua was originally part of the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR), but was established as an independent organisation when the Crown Research Institutes were created in 1992. As part of that process, it was semi-commercialised, and operated as a government-owned company rather than as a government department. The commercialisation led to greater emphasis on financial viability, and Manaaki Whenua is employed by various private groups to provide advice and information. It was chaired by Board Chair Colin Dawson. More information...
