Seventeen sites with regionally significant ecological values have been identified as new candidates for the Key Native Ecosystems programme in Taranaki, covering an area of more than 3000 hectares. The Taranaki Regional Council will reveal the province's new Key Native Ecosystems or KNEs at its Policy and Planning Committee meeting on Tuesday. The KNEs programme is part of the council's Biodiversity Strategy which has four prongs, one of which relates to the protection of sites of ecological value on private land.
