The ranges have the last area of native forest to be opened for logging. After protests and occupations some areas of totara and rewarewa native forests were preserved and logged areas are being restored. Endangered species present include North Island kōkako, kaka, falcon, North Island brown kiwi, blue duck, bats and Hochstetter's frog.[1]
