Sustainable Travel New Zealand
With geography spanning white to black sand beaches, mountains, thermal mud pools and geysers, plains, forests, rivers and lakes, and volcanic plateaus, New Zealand's scenery leaves nothing to the imagination. More than 30% of the land has been set aside in national parks, reserves and special heritage sites to preserve the country's ecological heritage. New Zealand has 13 national parks featuring relatively untouched landscape, that are home to ancient forests and landforms, rare birds, and creatures that have survived since prehistoric times.
"Protect the environment for your own sake, for the sake of those who come after you and for the environment itself"
"The land is the property of a great family, some of whom are living, a few of whom are dead and most of whom are yet to come"
"Take only photographs - leave only footprints"
