I'm Mark. I'm interested in New Zealand fauna especially beetles. I developed an inordinate fondness for large flightless weevils, especially flax and ngaio weevils after studying the ngaio weevil for the Department of Conservation in 2011. I see wikipedia as a great tool for conservation. If we don't know what is out there, we won't care about it. This is why it is important to increase the quality and quantity of pages on NZ endemic species. In my own small way, I try to raise awareness of some of our less noticed species that I am passionate about.

These are the pages that I have started (or edited):
