Of particular concerns are: fire, pests, predators, pollution, infestations and erosion. We look these and the many ways these are being stopped from changing the environment This remote land has developed its own special unique nature over 100 million years of separation from the rest of the world. It's special nature attracts visitors world wide to view the special landscapes and unique geography, flora and fauna. We see the importance of preserving natural resources through good management. Main invaders include: humans and their introduced creatures. We learn how introduced life forms (bacteria, plants, animals and insects) change and compromise this unique ecology. An international study of 109 countries in 2006 says New Zealand has the clearest air, least rubbish, cleanest rivers, freshest food and best drinking water. Bur there is more to conservation. At each Theme Zone we visit we see its own variety of natural resources being sustainably managed and used for human settlement. We learn how "invaders" are displacing native life forms and and natural geography and we explore the ways they reduce their affect. Interested groups visit National Parks, information Centres & Nature Parks where illustrations, and examples of the many factors that affect endangered species are available. We look at the economic effects of damaged rivers and hills. To do this we learn about erosion, and its effects on human industry and settlements.
