The 1997 report was the first comprehensive overview of the state of New Zealand's environment, examining both historical and current impacts on the environment.
The book has three main parts. The first provides a context for understanding the interaction between New Zealand society and the natural environment. The second describes the state of the New Zealand natural environment, taking a close look at five main aspects: atmosphere, air quality, land, water, and biodiversity. The concluding chapter offers the report's main findings.
"The report gathers for the first time in one place data examining water and air quality, biodiversity and land-use. It comments on management of waste, energy, climate change, ozone depletion and pests. It also deals with transport and fisheries issues, and highlights the need for more standardised and wider-ranging data to better manage environmental issues. Its purpose was to inform New Zealanders about the state of their environment, and identify areas requiring improvement," - Ministry for the Environment
