The Heritage @ Risk program was endorsed by ICOMOS members at the General Assembly in Mexico in 1999.  The aim of these reports is to identify threatened heritage places, monuments and sites, present typical case studies and trends, and share suggestions for solving individual or global threats to our cultural heritage.  Each year an invitation is made to all ICOMOS National Committees, International Scientific Committees and ICOMOS' world-wide professional network, to provide short reports outlining risks in their country or area of expertise including case studies.

This report continues to highlight significant New Zealand heritage at risk and supplements previous reports from ICOMOS New Zealand.  It discusses heritage protection mechanisms in New Zealand and recent legislative changes which have included heritage as a matter of national importance.
