The Protected Natural Areas Programme (PNAP) of New Zealand began in 1981 as a means of evaluating areas worthy of protection. As part of the programme a series of ecological districts have been created and 83 of the approximately 270 had been surveyed by 2001.{{Cite book| publisher = Dept. of Conservation| last = Bellingham| first = Peter| title = Evaluating methods for the Protected Natural Areas Programme| location = Wellington, N.Z.| date = 2001}}
