Every 10 years DOC turns to the public to find out what communities believe should be the priorities for conservation over the next decade.
This leads to the development of conservation management strategies (CMS) which DOC uses to focus our conservation work across the country.
We encourage you get involved and have your say on conservation.
Find out what conservation management strategies are and the new approach to developing them - focusing on places that are special to people and what they will look like over the next 10 years.
Find out how you can get involved in developing conservation management strategies. You can fill in an online survey, contribute to discussions and make a submission.
View the timetable for developing conservation management strategies.
View maps which show how your region fits into the national picture of indicative conservation priorities. This is just part of the CMS picture.
Find information on conservation management strategies consultations for each conservancy.
