Kauri dieback
DOC is responsible for protecting kauri on public conservation land and other land it manages, including many of New Zealand’s most significant kauri forests.
Myrtle rust

Hunters and trampers entering New Zealand from overseas can help keep New Zealand’s deer herds free of this disease.
