Description
Kakapo Keeper is a unique and fascinating account of New Zealand's conservation efforts in the late 19th century. Based on the true story of Andrew Burt, who worked as an assistant to Richard Henry, Chief Conservator at Dusky Sound, this diary-style book follows his daily struggles to preserve endangered wildlife.
Through Andrew's eyes, we experience the challenges faced by conservationists in their quest to protect New Zealand's unique bird species. The book includes interesting maps, curios, and information from Henry's field guide, providing a detailed insight into the lives of these remarkable birds and their predators.
This historical account is presented as Andrew's diary, offering a personal and intimate perspective on the conservation efforts of the time. With its unique blend of history, conservation, and wildlife, Kakapo Keeper is an engaging read for anyone interested in New Zealand's natural heritage.
