| Interdependencies, functions, ecosystems and resilience | Management for resilience of our indigenous and introduced ecosystems is supported by understanding the linkages between biodiversity, evolution, ecosystem function and services, mātauranga Māori and environmental and economic pressures. |
| Mitigation and restoration | New Zealand has diverse and vibrant indigenous and introduced ecosystems across a range of scales. Responses to economic and environmental drivers (threats and risks) are balanced to support kaitiakitanga and ensure long-term sustainability. |
| Detection, measurement and assessment | New Zealand has quantitative and qualitative measurement and assessment tools, integrated across the biosecurity and biodiversity domains and consistent with international best practice/standards, to enable the understanding, monitoring and evaluation of status and trends of biodiversity and the impacts of invasive organisms. |
| Social partnerships and licence | Social partnerships with motivated and enabled citizens, scientists, kaitiaki and decision makers are built, providing the basis for a social licence to apply new management methodologies, tools, technologies and solutions. |
