The DoC, Department of Conservation in New Zealand?

Protecting New Zealand's historical monuments. In New Zealand it doesn't take long before you see a DOC hiking trail sig. It also updates its website with all dangers or railblocks. New Zealand hiking is one of the best ways to explore the city.

Cross the most beautiful landscapes of New Zealand with the Great Walks. You can book 9 Great Walks through the DOC website. The Great Walk cabins are some of the most lightened and well-kept cabins in the land, due to the higher rates and appeal of them.

The DOC also takes care of the upkeep of other New Zealand back country cabins, which are equipped with different equipment, services and pricing. Favourite cabins must be booked, while more off the beat tracks are first. In order to conserve New Zealand's biodiversity, the DOC is working to minimise the threat and impact on local fauna.

The majority of New Zealand's imported game is regarded as parasites because of its adverse effects on the local population. Some few types of parasites are opossums, felines, dogs, rat and ermines. Other examples of parasites are Kawau Island Walabies, Kaimanawa Horse and Deers. They have developed methodologies to combat the population of these imported parasites.

DOC methodologies include delimiting domestic livestock from certain areas and, for example, banning domestic use. DOC are also specialists in the killings of trapping and toxic substances used as a means of minimising the population of parasites. More information on insect repellents can be found at Why New Zealand Has Opossums.

DOC maritime reservations help to prevent the extinction of the sea due to fisheries and other disruptions, so that we can see scarce wild animals in their native habitats. Leisure activities such as snorkeling, boat trips, snorkeling, dipping and kayak are still allowed in New Zealand's protected sea area, but there is a No Touch/No Take Police where you cannot take anything out of the area.

More than 36 maritime reservations exist around New Zealand and its isles. One of the attractions is the Goat Island Navy Reservoir near Auckland, where many local travel agencies rent kayak and snorkel gear to make the most of the area. You can also go to the Akaroa Navy Reservoir to see Hector's Delfine, seal and small whales.

The DOC not only preserves local flora and fauna but also New Zealand's historical monuments. Though the DOC is financed by the New Zealand federal budget, its budget is usually too low to preserve New Zealand's natural and historical heritage. Voluntary activities often include: surveillance of pests, lodge and warehouse keepers, vegetation, cleaning of beaches and much more.
