Abstract: In many countries undisturbed land and vegetation is being reserved for scientific comparison with formerly comparable developed areas. The New Zealand Forest Service is adding to this world network by reserving examples of forest types and environment for scientific research. The progress being made and some of the attendant problems are broadly discussed. The hope is expressed that scientists will take full advantage of this pioneer work.
