New Website For Zealandia

Wellington's world-first wildlife attraction ZEALANDIA has a new website.

ZEALANDIA: The Karori Sanctuary Experience in Wellington, New Zealand is delighted to launch its brand new website www.visitzealandia.com.

"The website has some exciting new features" said senior marketing coordinator Al Dicks.

"Wannabe David Attenboroughs can share videos of their animal encounters in the Visitors' Vids section. Find out what there is to see and do with the Visit Planner. Book tours online using our Online Tour Booking facility. And check out some of our weird and wonderful wildlife in the Species Factfiles.

Some of the things we'd like to look at down the track include a Tui's Twitter with daily updates on what the wildlife is up to in our sanctuary; a live-streaming 'bird cam' (so people in the Northern Hemisphere can keep an eye on our kiwi while we sleep!) and a Trade & Media Photo Gallery. So watch this space!"

Background

ZEALANDIA is managed by the internationally-acclaimed Karori Sanctuary Trust. Previously known as Karori Wildlife Sanctuary, the new name was launched in late 2008 by Prime Minister John Key .

ZEALANDIA is one of the best places to see New Zealand's endangered native wildlife in its natural environment. Less than 10 minutes from central Wellington, it was also the first urban conservation project of its kind anywhere in the world when it opened in 1995. A new state-of-the-art exhibition centre is due to open in April 2010. In 2008, Tourism Industry Association of New Zealand awarded us the Conservation in Action Award and in early 2009, we were voted one of the top 25 Eco-restoration projects in Australasia by the Global Restoration Network and the Ecological Society of Australia.
