+Converting Timezone-Aware Series and Index to NumPy Arrays
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The conversion from a :class:`Series` or :class:`Index` with timezone-aware
+datetime data will change to preserve timezones by default (:issue:`23569`).
+
+NumPy doesn't have a dedicated dtype for timezone-aware datetimes.
+In the past, converting a :class:`Series` or :class:`DatetimeIndex` with
+timezone-aware datatimes would convert to a NumPy array by
+
+1. converting the tz-aware data to UTC
+2. dropping the timezone-info
+3. returning a :class:`numpy.ndarray` with ``datetime64[ns]`` dtype
+
+Future versions of pandas will preserve the timezone information by returning an
+object-dtype NumPy array where each value is a :class:`Timestamp` with the correct
+timezone attached
+
+.. ipython:: python
+
+   ser = pd.Series(pd.date_range('2000', periods=2, tz="CET"))
+   ser
+
+The default behavior remains the same, but issues a warning

+         ndarray with 'datetime64[ns]' dtype. In the future, this will return an ndarray
+         with 'object' dtype where each element is a 'pandas.Timestamp' with the correct 'tz'.
+
+           To accept the future behavior, pass 'dtype=object'.
+           To keep the old behavior, pass 'dtype="datetime64[ns]"'.

+         dtype='datetime64[ns]')
+
+The old or new behavior can be obtained by specifying the ``dtype``

+
+   # Old behavior
