New Zealand is a country that prides itself on its 100 % Pure image. Its environmental record has consistently been rated as one of the top 10 countries in the world. Environmental protection is part of New Zealand’s heritage through the principle of Kaitiakitanga or guardianship, with one third of New Zealand’s land protected for conservation.
