To date, only New Zealand has compiled a checklist of its entire living and fossil biota.
Approximately 52% of this country’s species are endemic – found only in New Zealand’s freshwater, marine, and land environments.
We have a responsibility to the global community to preserve this unique heritage or taonga. But further than that, all of our species – including many of the naturalised aliens included in the survey – are important to New Zealand’s economy, ecology and well-being.
