Inset: Representative reserves are living examples of nature's diversity. Many Southlanders initially thought the bog pine of the Wilderness Nature Reserve near Te Anau would be better as farmland. In 1970 such sentiments resulted in 17ha of the reserve being cleared for farming. However the 88ha that remain have now become a special stopping point for the numerous tour buses to Fiordland. Visitors are here shown the "unique vegetation of primeval New Zealand". Photo: G D McSweeney
