Description
Tiritiri Matangi, an island in the Hauraki Gulf, is world-famous as an open sanctuary for endangered birds (eleven species of rare and endangered birds plus the tuatara have been successfully translocated there so far). It is also a world-leader in using volunteers for a revegetation project. Many Aucklanders know the island for the distinctive lighthouse which has operated at the approach to the harbour since 1865.
This book provides the definitive history of Tiritiri Matangi from early Maori occupation, through to the remarkable story of the restoration of the natural vegetation and birdlife.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome and colour images and maps.
