How can we safeguard our native
ecosystems so that biodiversity can once again thrive?
Research shows that the game changes if we can reach at least
15%
native ecosystem coverage
This means protecting ecosystems that are above 15% of their possible natural range
And reconstructing those that have fallen below.
Eco-index is providing national guidance for ecosystem reconstrution
in Aotearoa New Zealand
