NEW ZEALAND:
Having ratified the Convention in September
1993, New Zealand is currently engaged in an informed and
participatory process to establish a national strategy on
biodiversity. As an island nation, isolation enhanced its
biodiversity as well as its vulnerability to foreign species. In
order to ward against these foreign species, New Zealand passed a
Biosecurity Act this year.
