Have you heard the comment that just before God finished his creation he threw some of all the beauty and bounty he made into the sea and that became Aotearoa, our New Zealand?

What is New Zealand wilderness? Where is it? How should we use it? How should we preserve it? Twenty people worked on this book, sharing their insights and experiences about the wilderness that is New Zealand.

They explore the past, the present and the future, incorporating some beautiful photography. Writers, poets, scientists, photographers, conservationists, yes, all of us can give a different perspective, but I believe we must agree that we are blessed with magnificent beauty in our wilderness and should look after it so that we can continue to enjoy this great gift.

Title: Wild Heart - the Possibility of Wilderness in Aotearoa New Zealand

Authors: edited by Mick Abbott and Richard Reeve
