Hauturu: Conservation and Wildlife in New Zealand - Edited by Lyn Wade & Dick Veitch | Perfect for Nature Enthusiasts, Travelers & Environmental Studies

 

A richly illustrated account of the island’s diverse plants and animals, and the people behind this globally significant conservation success story.

Rising to the highest point in the Hauraki Gulf, Te Hauturu-o-Toi/Little Barrier Island stands sentinel over its rare and endangered birds, plants and animals. It is home to New Zealand’s most diverse native bird and reptile communities, a prodigious number of seabirds and a vast array of invertebrate fauna.

New Zealand’s first nature reserve, it is also a global symbol of conservation success and innovation. The island’s story is not just of its animals and plants, but of people, too: of Ngāti Manuhiri and Ngāti Rehua, the tangata whenua, and of the rangers, researchers and volunteers whose efforts have inspired the conservation world.

Written by experts across a range of fields, this book is a comprehensive account of the history and biodiversity of a very special place.
