Description
The History, Flora and Fauna of Te-Hauturu-o-Toi. Little Barrier Island.
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 Ngati Manuhiri and Ngati Rehua, the tangata whenua, and of the rangers, researchers and volunteers whose efforts have inspired the conservation world.
This book is a comprehensive account of the history and biodiversity of a very special place.
A richly illustrated account of the island’s diverse plants and animals, and the people behind this globally significant conservation success story.
