New Zealand Biodiversity Strategy
Launched in 2000, the strategy is a 20-year vision for protecting native species in New Zealand.
The New Zealand Biodiversity Strategy has been prepared in response to the state of decline of New Zealand's indigenous biodiversity - described in the State of New Zealand's Environment report as our "most pervasive environmental issue". It also reflects New Zealand's commitment, through ratification of the International Convention on Biological Diversity, to help stem the loss of biodiversity worldwide.
