Summary
The purpose of this dataset is to provide base information that can be linked to other datasets
pertinent to the management of Public Conservation Land.
Description
NaPALIS:
NaPALIS is a web-based centralised system and database for all Land Information New
Zealand (LINZ) and Department of Conservation (DOC) administered land. It allows
authorized users to reference and maintain information about land.
Protected Area:
A protected area is a clearly defined geographical space, recognised, dedicated and managed,
through legal or other effective means, to achieve the long term conservation of nature with
associated ecosystem services and cultural values.
There are around 60 different types of protected areain New Zealand. The most important
are: • National Parks
• Conservation Parks
• Nature Reserves
• Scientific Reserves
• Scenic Reserves
Page 4 of 6
• Historic Reserves
• Recreation (and other) Reserves
• Other Public Conservation Land
These categories vary in their conservation value and the opportunities they provide for
outdoor recreation. “Other Public Conservation Land” includes over 7,000 protected areas,
and “Recreation (and other) Reserves” combines many of the smaller reserve classes.
New Zealand’s protected areas are managed under six main laws:
• Conservation Act 1987
• National Parks Act 1980
• Reserves Act 1977
• Wildlife Act 1953
• Marine Reserves Act 1971
• Marine Mammals Protection Act 1979.
