Abstract: To many, the issues for long term sustainability in New Zealand, from a conservation perspective, are a familiar and perhaps wearying litany. The continuing decline in native biodiversity; habitat loss and degradation; freshwater pollution and over-use; energy and carbon intensiveness; the battle against old and new pests and weeds.... The list is known, the problems are real and substantial.
