If you take a closer look at New Zealand you’ll find 5,307 extra special places that stand out for their uniqueness. Their outstanding natural and ecological significance has been recognised as worthy of protection for future generations.
These places aren’t national parks or public land. They’re owned by private individuals with an unwavering commitment to conserving what’s special about our amazing country and legally protecting it for all New Zealanders to enjoy, forever. Their passion means these places will only ever change for the better.
It’s our job to support these special people and places, as we’ve been doing for over 40 years. We’re stronger together, working in partnership with the landowners and protecting their interests, while at the same time protecting and enhancing New Zealand’s biodiversity and natural habitats.
This special 180,000 hectares of New Zealand that’s protected in perpetuity safeguards our unique heritage for people now, and for future generations, to enjoy, learn from and protect. Forever. Our Kaitiakitanga.
