This report is the second national-level state of New Zealand’s environment report.

It identifies trends in and selected pressures on our natural resources. It introduces benchmark environmental indicators as well as 80 specific measures, to capture hard data which will be used to build up a clear picture of trends and pressures over time.
This report is a ‘one stop shop’ of accessible, relevant environmental information which can be used as a basis for decision-making. A summary of Environment New Zealand 2007 has been published.
