Description
New Zealand Nature Heroes by Gillian Candler shines a spotlight on the remarkable individuals past and present, who have made a real difference for nature in Aotearoa. It profiles fifteen people from young citizen scientists to seasoned kaitiaki and wildlife experts, sharing their stories, challenges and achievements.
Each chapter pairs the person with the species or habitat they helped protect, and finishes with accessible activities that children can try themselves. It’s the kind of book that doesn’t just inform, it inspires readers to see themselves as part of the solution and take action for the environment.
Educator Approved
Builds understanding of how habitats and species connect
By following each “hero” through their work on specific plants, animals or ecosystems, children begin to see the cause‑and‑effect relationships between human activity, species survival and habitat health.
Promotes practical engagement with nature and science
At the end of each profile are hands‑on suggestions like monitoring birds, planting natives or recording water quality, that turn reading into doing and help children apply what they learn.
