Introduction
DOC cooperates with others from around the world to protect and restore natural and cultural heritage globally, in the Pacific and in Aotearoa.Our goal is to create a global culture where conservation of natural and cultural heritage is valued and considered vital to economic, cultural and social success.
As the Government’s primary conservation advisor, DOC works alongside other agencies to ensure conservation is a central consideration when representing New Zealand’s interests internationally.
Our work in Antarctica and Southern Ocean
New Zealand is committed to conserving the special wilderness values of Antarctica and the Southern Ocean for the benefit of all.
International Seabird Strategy – Rautaki Manu Moana
Our seabirds are ocean wanderers, they are taonga, and they are in trouble. Saving them will require a global effort.
Our work in the Pacific region
New Zealand is connected to the Pacific region by people, ocean, history, culture and shared interests.
International protection of species
