The Department of Conservation is the central government organisation charged with conserving the natural and historic heritage of New Zealand on behalf of, and for the benefit of, present and future New Zealanders. This role is reflected in the Department’s Māori name – Te Papa Atawhai. Te Papa signifies a box or container (for taonga or treasures) and atawhai the act of caring, nurturing or preserving. While much of the Department’s work takes place on the more than 8 million hectares of protected land and 32 marine reserves that it manages, some of the Department’s functions go beyond the boundaries of public conservation lands and waters. This includes the marine and coastal environment through the Resource Management Act and the Foreshore and Seabed Act
