Biosecurity Services
New Zealand is unique. For centuries New Zealand’s isolation has been its advantage, keeping our environment safe from the ravages of pests and disease, and allowing the evolution of the unique plants and animals that New Zealanders treasure. While our land-based primary production sector relies on exotic species making a very significant contribution to our economy, other exotic species present ongoing challenges to land-based and marine primary industry, human health, indigenous and native species, and the biodiversity and the environment.
