The draft National Policy Statement for Indigenous Biodiversity (NPSIB) represents the culmination of a lengthy process that has seen different government agencies and stakeholder sectors working together on plans to reverse biodiversity decline.

It is a significant achievement to have a framework that embraces all land uses and ownership types.

The Commissioner supports any practicable measures that will prevent the ongoing loss of indigenous species and ecosystems in New Zealand.
