	Terrestrial Ecoregions -- Northland temperate kauri forests (AA0406)
		Today kauri forests are largely protected and coastal wetlands and peat bogs further contribute to the region’s biodiversity, harboring large populations of seabirds as well as threatened plants and birds.
		The Northland Temperate Kauri Forests ecoregion comprises two botanical provinces, Northland province in the north and Auckland province in the south (Wardle 1981).
		Plant endemism is highest in the northern Northland province, partially as a result of the varied substrates found here and also as a result of fluctuating sea levels, which have at times cut off and isolated some regions, such as Te Paki, from the rest of the North Island (Wardle 1991).
