New Zealand's thick, green forests and rugged coastlines are home to an array of endemic wildlife, most of which cannot be found anywhere else on earth. To ensure the preservation of New Zealand’s native species, there is a growing number of conservation initiatives aimed at ensuring a future for the country’s unique wildlife.

A visit to New Zealand presents ample opportunities to meet some of the country’s most unique and endangered animals - whether it is on a predator-free island sanctuary, a national park, or a natural enclosure in the heart of the city.
