Mike Joy is one of Aotearoa’s best-known environmentalists. Mike is
currently a Senior Research Fellow in the School of Geography and Earth
Sciences at Victoria University Wellington. Mike was a late starter in
academia, first attending university in his early thirties to gain his BSc,
MSc and PhD in Ecology from Massey University. He began lecturing there in
ecology and environmental science in 2003. After seeing first-hand the
decline in freshwater health in New Zealand, he became an outspoken
advocate for environmental protection.

Mike has received a number of awards for this work, including an Ecology in
Action award from the NZ Ecological Society (2009), an Old Blue from Forest
and Bird (2011), a Tertiary Education Union Award of Excellence for
Academic Freedom and contribution to Public Education (2013), the Royal
Society of New Zealand Charles Fleming Award for protection of the New
Zealand environment (triennial, 2013), the Morgan Foundation inaugural
River Voice Award (2015), the inaugural New Zealand Universities Critic and
Conscience award (biennial, 2016) a semi-finalist for the 2018 Kiwibank New
Zealander of the year and was awarded the Callaghan Medal from the Royal
Society of New Zealand in 2024. He has been an Associate Editor of Marine
and Freshwater Research Journal (CSIRO; Australia) since 2015, associate
editor for the Springer Journal - Biodiversity and Conservation since 2019
and an Editorial Panel Member for Transylvanian Review of Systematical and
Ecological Research since 2010.



*2025 marks ten years of Massey’s Political Ecology Research Centre (PERC)!
