DOC is developing the next implementation plan for New Zealand’s Biodiversity Strategy (Te Mana o te Taiao – Aotearoa New Zealand Biodiversity Strategy 2020). The plan will guide action for nature at a national, regional and local level.
Nature in New Zealand is unique and special. Most of it is only found here. Once our species are gone from here, they’re gone from everywhere.
Our nature is also among the world’s most vulnerable and is a critical economic asset, with ecosystems contributing 27% or $57 billion of GDP. We need to protect it.
They are proposing 13 critical actions that central and regional government can take to make a difference for nature and empower all New Zealanders to take action.
