Abstract

Since 1987, the principles of the Treaty of Waitangi have been explicitly relevant in the management of New Zealand's conservation estate. This article examines how the courts, the Waitangi Tribunal, and the Department of Conservation have interpreted and applied section 4 of the Conservation Act 1987.
