| While the NZSAIxe2x80x99s are all located on the Pacific Tectonic Plate, the different geological history and age of each island group, and their geographical isolation from mainland New Zealand and from each other, has shaped the unique and remarkable biodiversity of the islands including distinctive plants, birds, invertebrates, marine mammals, fish and marine algae assemblages. | UNESCO |
| There are 126 species of birds, including 40 seabirds, eight of which breed nowhere else in the world. | UNESCO |
| Land birds also display a surprising diversity, considering the limited land area available, with a large number of threatened endemics including one of the worldxe2x80x99s rarest ducks. | UNESCO |
| Evolutionary processes, such as the loss of flight in birds and invertebrates, offer unique opportunities for research into island dynamics and ecology. | UNESCO |
| Criterion (x): The NZSAI, and the ocean that surrounds and links them, support an extraordinary and outstanding array of endemic and threatened species among the marine fauna, land birds, and invertebrates. | UNESCO |
| As a group they are distinct from all other island groups, having the highest diversity of indigenous plants and birds. | UNESCO |
| Of particular significance: the most diverse community of seabirds in the world with eight species endemic to the region; including four species of albatross, three species of cormorants (one of which, the Bounty Island Shag, is the worldxe2x80x99s rarest cormorant) and one species of penguin; 15 endemic land birds including snipe, parakeets and teal; breeding sites of the worldxe2x80x99s rarest sea lion (the New Zealand (or Hookerxe2x80x99s) sea lion); and a significant breeding population of the southern right whale. | UNESCO |
