Biodiversity conservation and management occurs within a context of administrative
boundaries and place names. The key classifications are listed below:
ADMINISTRATIVE BOUNDARIES

Landonline is provided by Terralink and defines the official boundaries
and titles of parcels of land in New Zealand, as well as ownership details.
Department of Conservation boundaries
Information on Department of Conservation regional, conservancy and area
office boundaries provided by the Department of Conservation (DOC). Conservancy
and area office boundaries are also available on the spatial information
map service DOCgis.
Marine boundary information showing closed areas and marine
interests administered by DOC is also available.

on a digital cadastral database and includes:
- the size of each Māori land block;
- an indication of the number of owners;
- topographical information such as road and rivers; and
- relevant and appropriate management information, for example, whether
the land is managed by an incorporation or trust.
