"An ecological revolution in New Zealand’s capital is underway, as the return
of native bird species and close encounters with orca and whales fuel a
volunteer conservation movement among Wellington’s residents.
The city is seeing an explosion in wildlife thanks to the presence of
Zealandia, the world’s first fully fenced urban ecosanctuary located just 10
minutes from downtown. The sanctuary aims to restore its part of Wellington to
the state it was in 700 years ago, before the arrival of humans and predators
like rats and stoats led to the extinction of dozens of species.
Zealandia’s 225-hectare (550-acre) property is surrounded by a 8.6-kilometer
(5.3-mile) fence to keep pests out, allowing endangered birds to thrive and
venture across the city. After 20 years, it has become so successful that the
increased personal experience of native wildlife is galvanizing residents to
double down on efforts to eradicate pests."
