This act brings together and updates the rules about national parks. It changes some of the existing laws to make them better. The act is all about how we manage and take care of our national parks in New Zealand.
National parks are special areas of land that are protected because they're beautiful or important for nature. This act sets out how we should look after these parks and what people can and can't do in them.
