From the awe-inspiring mountains to the bright blue lakes and rivers, Queenstown’s stunning natural environment never ceases to amaze. But beyond it’s beauty is an environment steeped in meaning and ecological significance, representing some of Aotearoa’s most treasured but at-risk landscapes. With just 10% of the region’s indigenous plant cover remaining and over 35 threatened and endangered wildlife species, the time to act is now.
