The Unspoilt Land

Short Film (Full Length) – 1972

There are plenty of birds around. Some people get the impression that they’re scarce, just because they’re not sharp enough to spot them.
– A park ranger
The whole purpose of the National Parks is to hold the delicate balance of protecting the land while giving people the freest possible use of it. In opening up such country there’s always the risk of destroying the natural beauties of the land forever. And this has made New Zealanders increasingly determined to protect it both now and in the future.
– From the narration
