A 500-year journey
Sanctuary beginnings | Jim's story | Hear our story
Karori Sanctuary’s vision is 'to be a world-class conservation site portraying our natural heritage that captures people’s imagination, understanding and commitment'.
A guided tour at the Sanctuary
This will result in the Sanctuary valley and its original ecosystems being brought back to life. We believe it will take around 500 years to fully restore the 225 hectare valley to its pre-human state; this is the time it will take for the forest giants, such as rimu and totara, to reach maturity providing a rich self-sustaining environment for a variety of native animal species.
Karori Sanctuary is a place for people: a place where New Zealanders, school groups and visitors to our country can experience and learn about our precious natural heritage and how they can influence the restoration of flora and fauna in their own environments. We have a number of scientists and students who conduct research and further expert knowledge about the restoration of indigenous species and environments.
Our 500-year journey has only just begun – but what we’ve already achieved is extraordinary.
