Naturalist and author Brian Parkinson follows the
main highways and back country roads, stopping off at New Zealand’s most
spectacular locations.
The country’s isolation for millions of years
means its flora and forna are unique. Parkinson highlights forest birds,
towering trees, glacial lakes and active volcanoes which make New Zealand
special. from isolated beaches and out on the water, he draws attention to the
seabirds and mammals off New Zealand’s coast.
But this is not just a road trip exploring the
country’s beauty spots. Parkinson writes that ‘natural history is as much about
history as it is about nature’ and examins how New Zealand’s natural
environment has dramatically changed since people first stepped ashore.
What we see today is the result of what happened
in the past and all New Zealanders should explore the unique wildlife on our
doorstep. It’s just a road trip away.
