Karori Sanctuary Trust / March 2006
Karori Sanctuary Trust has an extraordinary 500-year vision: to restore a corner of New Zealand as closely as possible to the way it was the day before humans arrived. Our groundbreaking 225ha (550 acre) sanctuary for native wildlife, established in 1995, was a major breakthrough in the recovery of native wildlife on mainland New Zealand, reversing a decline that has lasted for at least 700 years.

- Come face-to-face with our unique living fossils and talk to the experts who study them. Some people call the Sanctuary �Jurassic Park�, referring to our trademark 2-metre high predator-proof fence. But recently this nickname has become even more appropriate, because the Sanctuary is now home to a prehistoric animal whose close ancestors were around with the dinosaurs.
