Many of New Zealand's most precious native animals survive only in remote forests, inaccessible mountain tops and isolated islands where they have escaped the habitat loss and predation by introduced mammals. The islands, especially, have become an important part of the New Zealand conservation movement. Without them we would have lost many species of birds, invertebrates and reptiles found nowhere else on Earth.The fences.
The sanctuary at ZEALANDIA is a 'mainland island'. Instead of being surrounded by water, there are a unique fence that has been specially-designed to keep out the introduced mammals that have devastated much of New Zealand's unique flora and fauna. It looks like a prison but that allowed to keep a tressure of native fauna and flora inside.Wildlife.
