Many native plants, animals and their habitats in New Zealand’s land and
freshwater ecosystems are under threat from human activities and encroachment,
and unwanted introduced organisms such as possums and deer.
The government funds programmes under the
New Zealand Biodiversity Strategy, aimed at halting the decline of indigenous
biodiversity and protecting valuable introduced biodiversity on land and
freshwater.
The Ministry for the Environment and the Department of Conservation are
working on a programme of guidance about
biodiversity protection on private land.
