Notes
National Parks and Other Wild Places of New Zealand profiles 35 protected national and forest parks, reserves, and wildlife sanctuaries, several of which have such international significance they have been granted World Heritage status. The wonderfully diverse natural landscapes and unique ecological habitats range from geo-thermal regions, ice-capped mountains, active volcanoes and glaciers to subtropical beaches and rainforests. Through authoritative text, detailed maps, fact-filled visitor boxes and beautiful full-color photographs, author Kathy Ombler provides comprehensive coverage of the wonderfully diverse natural landscapes, unique ecological habitats, and the impressive range of outdoor pursuits that abound within the various areas.
