Established as a nature reserve in 1897, Kapiti Island is one of New Zealand's longest and most exciting restoration stories. In this text, 19 specialists who have worked on the project relay the inspiring tale of its rehabilitation -- the restoration of the land, sea, and birds; the Island's past; and its future. Illustrated throughout with colour photographs, charts, and maps, the text is academic but accessible to the general reader.

Part I -- Restoring Land and Sea; Part II -- Restoring Kapiti's Birds; Part III -- The Future and the Past.
