WHAT MAKES KEY NATIVE
ECOSYSTEMS REGIONALLY
SIGNIFICANT?
Key Native Ecosystems are regionally significant
because they are:
home to nationally or regionally threatened
or at-risk native plant and animal species, or
representative of originally rare ecosystems
and indigenous vegetation now much
reduced from its original extent, and/or
important connections or buffers to other
sites of value, or provide
systems. Given
that many untested structures mapped to date are larger than the Maui field (New
Zealand’s largest), there is considerable potential for further commercial
hydrocarbon discoveries (New Zealand Petroleum and Minerals, 2012).
The oil and gas industry makes a significant contribution to the New Zealand
economy and society generally. Oil is New Zealand’s fourth largest export (after
dairy, meat and wood) with a value of around $2.2 billion. Gas is an important
contributor to
