New Zealand Wildlife Viewing New Zealand Kiwi Bird Tourist Attraction Christchurch New Zealand
Description
To visit Willowbank is to participate in a story. Willowbank is not just a Wildlife Park with a collection of exhibits, but has been created with a theme and a purpose that makes it a totally unique and living experience, along with learning about its conservation work.
The story tells of the development of a young country breaking off from Gondwanaland, and the establishment of its wildlife as a 'step frozen in time'. It tells of the coming of the indigenous people and their impact. The arrival of the colonists and the mistakes and lessons that have have been made and learnt. It completes the story with a roadmap into the future, and how we can all take part in forging that future. It is a 'New Zealand Experience'
The story begins through 'Wild New Zealand'. It starts with the impact on a fragile country of introduced species such as deer, wallabies, and a host of other animals, birds and plants, many of whom have altered the landscape and biota drastically. These lessons may have been hard and costly, but it is important that we learn from them, and make the most of now managing the resources that make up our new but rich environment.
