New Organisms

New Zealand’s economy relies on organisms that are not native to New Zealand. Think of the humble dairy cow first imported into New Zealand in the early 1800s. But we didn’t always get it right, which is why we now have a process to ensure new organisms will benefit New Zealand without harming our environment.
