You could also call this:

"Conservation Boards are groups that help look after New Zealand's environment, set up by the Minister."

The Minister will create up to 19 Conservation Boards by putting a notice in the Gazette. You will know the area each board is in charge of because the Minister will give it a special name. The Minister will decide the area that each board is responsible for.

The Minister can change the area that each board is in charge of at any time. You can find more information about this by looking at the Conservation Law Reform Act 1990. This law is related to the Conservation Act 1987.
