The biodiversity of New Zealand, a large island country located in the south-western Pacific Ocean, is varied and distinctive. The species of New Zealand accumulated over many millions of years as lineages evolved in the local circumstances. New Zealand's pre-human biodiversity exhibited high levels of species endemism, but has experienced episodes of biological turnover. Global extinction approximately 65 Ma (million years ago) resulted in the loss of fauna such as non-avian dinosaurs, pterosaurs and marine reptiles e.g. mosasaurs, elasmosaurs and plesiosaurs. The ancient fauna is not well known, but at least one species of terrestrial mammal existed in New Zealand around 19 Ma. For at least several million years before the arrival of human and commensal species, the islands had no terres

  • L'environnement naturel en Nouvelle-Zélande, un grand archipel entre la mer de Tasman et le Pacifique, est l'un des plus particuliers au monde du fait du long isolement de cet archipel d'avec les terres continentales. La Nouvelle-Zélande faisait partie du Gondwana, duquel elle s'est séparée il y a 82 Ma, et sa biodiversité partage des caractéristiques avec celles de la Nouvelle-Calédonie et de l'île Lord Howe, toutes deux sur le même continent depuis largement submergé de Zealandia. Plus récemment, plusieurs espèces ont été introduites par l'Homme. ) (fr)
