Biodiversity

Biological diversity, or Biodiversity for short, is the variety of all life forms – plants, animals, micro-organisms and the ecosystems on land or in the water where they live.

Working together to care for biodiversity

Our native flora and fauna is taonga (treasured possession) and it's part of who we are.

Threatened species

Native animals and plants that make our region so special are becoming rarer.

National and regional policy to protect biodiversity

Maintaining and protecting our indigenous biodiversity into the future.
