Habitat loss (through land
clearance and drainage) has
historically been the main
pressure on biodiversity. While
the rate of land clearance and
drainage has declined in recent times, the
ongoing loss and modification of remnant
habitats remains an issue, particularly on
privately owned land in Taranaki. Even
small losses of habitat can now have a
disproportionate impact on remaining
biodiversity – not only in terms of remnant
sites
