Kahurangi National Park, Farewell Spit, and Canaan karst system comprise a conservation area on the northwest corner of the South Island of New Zealand. Kahurangi National Park consists of a wide variety of ecosystems, from alpine screes and bogs to subalpine grasslands to montane and coastal rainforests, and supports a high degree of endemism in its flora and fauna, including the giant land snail. Farewell Spit is a 30km long intertidal sandflat on the northern edge of Golden Bay, and is an outstanding habitat for shore birds.
