N2  -  	"Tiritiri Matangi Island is a conservation success story of international significance. Thousands of trees, planted by volunteers, and the release of rare and endangered birds have produced today's world-famous open sanctuary near Auckland, New Zealand, which attracts over 33,000 visitors per year. This book describes the island's history, its Maori occupation, the farming period, wartime activites, the historic lighthouse as well as the subsequent conservation project. Although aimed at the general reader, the book also contains data on the island's flora and fauna, with sections on each endangered bird. Its ... illustrations include rare historical photographs and ... bird studies."--Back cover
