Background Information
Growing conservation
New Zealand’s natural environment underpins our lives and lifestyles. It is
unique in the world and treasured by New Zealanders, but it is also
fundamental to our prosperity.
Our economy, health and wellbeing, leisure pursuits and national identity all
depend on our natural environment. We depend on natural resources like
clean water, fertile soils and healthy ocean fisheries; we also depend on the
natural services nature provides like protection from flooding and erosion.
As New Zealanders our cultural identity is also closely tied to our natural
environment. It is part of what makes us who we are.
Given its huge economic, social and cultural importance, we can’t afford to
take our environment for granted. Every New Zealander has a stake in nature
and has a role to play in protecting it.
Despite our investments in conservation, our natural environment and
ecosystems are facing huge challenges. We have more than 2,000 threatened
species and many of our special natural places, including our waterways, are
under threat.
DOC is working with communities, businesses, iwi and others around New
Zealand and achieving some great conservation results. But we are not doing
enough to stop the decline in native species and ecosystems. To really make a
difference we all need to play our part.
DOC is changing the way we work so we can not only deliver our own
conservation work but also increase awareness of conservation challenges and
work more effectively with others so that, together, we can achieve even more.
We are developing new conservation partnerships and extending existing
relationships, so that we can enable more conservation to be achieved in the
future.
