Reasons for Change

• All New Zealanders have a stake in our natural environment. We can’t afford to take it for granted.

• Species decline is just the canary in the coal mine – an indicator of a threatened ecosystem.

• The job is too important to be left to DOC alone.

• By working with others we can achieve more.

DOC Change Approach

• Reinforce the need for change – Vision

• Current state is not an option.

• Visibly led by DG
