DOC Science & Technical Publishing
The New Zealand Department of Conservation publishes a wide range of documents on the work it does, from scientific notes and threatened species recovery plans to management plans and annual reports. The publications in this Science & technical section record the output of science investigations undertaken by DOC's Research, Development & Improvement Division staff and contractors. We publish several series, stand-alone books, science posters, and pamphlets.
We release new publications regularly, so keep an eye on our new publications webpage for updates, or subscribe to our monthly memo (electronic or hardcopy).

Catalogues
The online catalogue on this website lists all of our publications, including abstracts and links to the pdf where available. Annually we produce a catalogue of the publications produced in the previous year. These are available for download, or can be requested in hard copy.
