Summary
Northland is one of New Zealand's three regional ‘hotspots’ for local endemism and species diversity. Of international significance are the Poor Knights and Three Kings Islands, and the magnesium-rich, ultramafic geological features of the North Cape region; these contain many locally endemic, threatened plants. Also of international significance are the kauri forests around Waipoua.
