Illustration for Wildlife Act 1953

You can find some animals in the partially protected wildlife list. These animals are the Brown skua, but only on the Chatham Islands. You can also find the Little owl and the Silvereye. The list of partially protected wildlife is part of the Wildlife Act 1953, which is empowered by s 5. This act helps protect some animals in New Zealand. It tells you which animals are partially protected. The partially protected wildlife list includes the names of the animals and where you can find them. It does not tell you what to do if you see these animals, but it does help keep them safe. You can learn more about the Wildlife Act 1953 and how it helps protect animals in New Zealand.
