New Zealand chooses to restrict some data on its protected areas. As a result, data on 1 protected area is not publicly-available and cannot be viewed or downloaded on this page. While this site is included in the coverage statistics presented here, all other statistics (e.g. number of protected areas; breakdown by governance type etc.) on this page are based upon the publicly-available data only.
