Summary: New Zealand has an extraordinary range of plants and animals, yet many species are heading towards extinction. The arrival of humans to the country, and the predators we brought with us, has pushed the natural world to the brink. But while we are the villains of the story, we can also be heroes. In Great Stories of New Zealand Conservation, author Alan Froggatt tells 50 stories from right across the motu. Some projects have been locally led, while others have driven by national organisations-- such as saving the kakapo and the yellow-eyed penguin. In every chapter there are real life New Zealanders, who care passionately about our environment. (Publisher)
