Bird species on public conservation land - Occupancy of indigenous and exotic bird species in forest and non-forest ecosystems, 2013

New Zealand's Environment Reporting Series: The Ministry for the Environment and Statistics New Zealand

The status of our bird communities is an important indicator of the condition of our ecosystems. Many indigenous birds play key ecological roles, including dispersing seeds and pollinating flowers. In some situations, exotic (not indigenous to New Zealand) bird species can partially fulfil these roles. Measuring the composition of bird communities across public conservation land allows us to monitor how those communities are changing over time.

This dataset relates to the "Bird species on public conservation land" measure on the Environmental Indicators, Te taiao Aotearoa website.
