This conference is organized by the University of Waikato and the New Zealand Department of Conservation. Its goals are to bring together practitioners, scientists, policy-makers and conservation advocates from New Zealand and elsewhere to: review and evaluate the achievements of the past 20 years of conservation management in New Zealand; consider future challenges for conservation agencies; and assess the ways in which conservation agencies might best achieve their goals for conservation outcomes in 2050 and beyond.
