Zealandia Sanctuary is the world’s first fully-fenced urban ecosanctuary. This means that it is a fenced-off area within an urban environment that has been cleared of predators. This allows native wildlife to thrive in a safe environment.

Zealandia is located in Wellington, New Zealand, and covers an area of 225 hectares (just under a square mile). It is home to over 50 species of native birds, including many that are endangered or threatened in the wild. Visitors can also see tuataras, kaka, kiwi, takahe, and other unique New Zealand wildlife up close.

Zealandia is a popular tourist destination, but it is also an important conservation research center. Scientists at Zealandia are working to restore the forest ecosystem to its pre-human state and to protect New Zealand’s unique wildlife.

Zealandia has inspired many similar projects throughout New Zealand and the world. Today, there are over 100 fenced sanctuaries in New Zealand, and many more around the world. Zealandia is a model for what can be achieved when we work together to protect our natural heritage.
