Managing threats to nature
Managing threats to nature
Introduction
We manage threats to places and species, including fire, biosecurity and climate change.
Tiakina Ngā Manu
Tiakina Ngā Manu, formerly Battle for our Birds, is DOC's successful predator control programme.
Protected species bycatch
The Conservation Services Programme (CSP) monitors the impact of commercial fishing on protected species, studies species populations and looks at ways to mitigate bycatch.
Biosecurity
Biosecurity helps to prevent damage caused by unwanted organisms. These include animal pests, weeds, didymo, and diseases like kauri dieback.
Climate change and conservation
DOC is working to protect New Zealand’s native species, ecosystems, outdoor recreation and heritage sites from climate change.
Conservation Dogs Programme
This programme uses highly trained dogs and their handlers to detect New Zealand’s protected species or unwanted pests.
Managing fires on public conservation land
Find out how we minimise the risks of fires on public conservation land.
Honeybees on conservation land
DOC is concerned about the risks to beekeeping sustainability in New Zealand. We are taking the lead by creating a sustainable model for beekeeping – one based on conservation.
Wildlife health
Wildlife health is about ensuring we have healthy and robust populations of wildlife. We work on investigating wildlife diseases.
