Above: Knights Point and this coastal forest in south Westland are features of the Te Wahi Pounamu/Southwest New Zealand World Heritage Area but they are not part of any national park. The huge world heritage area includes four national parks and an area of 'stewardship land' — the lowest category of reserve — in the Haast area. Public lands in South Westland, south of the Cook River, are considered high priority for investigation as potential national park lands. They include significant lowland forests not well represented in the national park system.
