Nga Uruora. Ecology and History in a New Zealand Landscape.

Geoff Park.

A very interesting account of the history and ecology of the country’s fertile coastal plains whose natural character is unknown to its modern inhabitants. The study focuses on four places where remnants of the original ecosystems survive, Tauwhare on the Mokau River, Papaitonga in Horowhenua, Whanganui Inlet and Punakaiki. Colour photographs by Craig Potton.
