The mighty kauri, symbolic tree of the north. 190 years after Europeans first started to exploit this stately tree, reducing it in that time to about 4 percent of its former extent, plans are underway to bestow national park status on the north's kauri forests. Te Matua Ngahere (Father of the Forest) in Waipoud Forest has the greatest girth (16.41 meters) — of any living kauri. Photo: Gerard Hutching
