Introduction
Zealandia (Te Māra a Tāne) in a valley near central Wellington is the world's first mainland urban eco-sanctuary, enclosed by a predator-proof fence. Native forest and wetlands are restored, hosting kiwi, kākā, kākāpō and tuatara among rare species; trails suit birding and night tours seek nocturnal life — New Zealand's flagship conservation project.
