"This is a test site about the amazing flora and fauna of New Zealand's
Fiordland. A region of towering peaks, heavy rain, steep fiords
and a unique ecology. It is an anomaly that this unique marine environment
is not actually in Fiordland National Park. This stems from an era
when only land based conservation was seen as important whereas
today we take a far broader ecosystem approach." |
