How we protect biodiversity

We are working to protect our natural environment by managing resources in a sustainable and integrated way.
This work is governed by the requirements of the Resource Management Act, the Unitary Plan and Significant Ecological Areas.
Caring for geological sites on the council land
This includes:
- regional and local parks
- building and maintaining stormwater and transport assets.
Implementing indigenous biodiversity on the council land
Implementing our
Indigenous Biodiversity Strategy. This strategy aims to:
- conserve Auckland's indigenous ecosystems and sequences
- achieve long-term recovery of threatened species
- protect the goods and services provided by our natural environment
- grow public understanding of biodiversity
- sustain and protect the natural and physical resources that provide for the social, economic and cultural wellbeing of Māori.
