The Clark Govt transferred 130,000 hectares of former Timberlands West Coast indigenous forest to DOC management in 2001–02 following the Forests (West Coast Accord) Act 2000. Those primordial taonga forests remain standing today, but some could be at risk again.

Of the 130,000 ha, nearly 18,000 ha was added to National Parks, but the remaining 112,000 ha was distributed across the classifications of ecological area, scenic and scientific reserves, wildlife management, amenity, and conservation area and conservation park.
