INVADERS IN PARADISE
For millions of years New Zealand was a paradise -- home to many ancient plants & animals. But a thousand years ago the first animal invaders arrived, and changed the country forever.

iBANDITS OF THE BEECH FOREST
A plague of wasps has descended on New Zealand and left scientists struggling to protect animals & humans from this sinister pest. In New Zealand's fragile beech forests the wasp threatens the annihilation of the kaka, as a last great wave of environmental destruction sweeps across the country.
LAND OF THE KIWI
New Zealand stands alone in the South Pacific. It is an ancient land inhabited by strange creatures; frogs that carry their young on their back, and flightless, nocturnal birds. The kiwi is not only our national symbol, but also symbolises New Zealand's unique wildlife. So why is New Zealand's wildlife so different? Why are there so many birds yet only one mammal -- a tiny bat? The answer lies in the land itself.
