New Zealand’s natural environment consists of habitats for flora and fauna, resources, provides genetic diversity, ecosystem services and contributes to the sense of a national identity and a thriving tourism industry.
The state highway system is an essential part of New Zealand's transport system, providing access to social, educational, employment and recreational opportunities.
