One NZ joined DOC’s national partner whānau in August 2025. This partnership will redirect an estimated $14 million in savings and added value over six years to support a shared ambition: to set a global standard using connection and innovation to help nature thrive and make conservation work safer and more effective.
This long-term ambition is supported by a clear vision for what success looks like – where conservation is smarter, communities are better connected, and investment in nature continues to grow.

A new connection that helps us work safer and smarter
One NZ’s satellite-powered mobile services will give DOC staff increased coverage in the field, new ways to connect in remote areas, and consolidate multiple devices into a single handy device – a ranger’s mobile phone.
This satellite connectivity will also unlock new tools that will help DOC work smarter and achieve more for nature, including:
- satellite and technology pilots to enhance DOC staff safety, data collection and decision-making on conservation land
- satellite-connected field tools to enable remote teams to collect data, track species, and stay connected from anywhere
- sensor systems that can trigger alerts and reduce the need for costly, time-consuming trips into the field.
