Wild Heart : The Possibility Of Wilderness In Aotearoa New Zealand
Paperback Edition: 1
Images of pristine forests, mountain ranges, untameable rivers and empty expanses of coastline are ket to how Aotearoa New Zealand is promoted internationally. Such wilderness is at this nation's psychological and physical core.
This book seraches for an understanding of 'the wild', with seventeen essays by trampers, scientists, conservationists, policy-makers, photographers, historians and writers. Together they examine what and where is New Zealand's wilderness. Is the wilderness something that we lock up or not? How do Maori see wild places? And looking forward, what could wilderness in Aotearoa New Zealand become, and, consequently, what might we its people also become.
