BATTLE FOR BREAKSEA ISLAND
In the beginning, flightless New Zealand native birds like the Kakapo and Kiwi, found everything on the forest floor - except predators.  But as New Zealand became inhabited, the rat followed, invading the mainland and countless islands, killing as they multiplied.

But in 1988, the rat-busters came to remote Breaksea Island.  This is the story of their battle.

DUNE
The shifting sands that form the dunes are the agents and the products of change - driven by the elements and the tides.  This film takes you to one of the harshest environments on the planet, a place where change is the only constant.

POSSUM - A NEW ZEALAND NIGHTMARE
Possums - once the source of a thriving fur trade and now more numerous than sheep.  Thanks to a predator-free environment they are still growing in number.  How is the famed New Zealand "number 8 wire" ingenuity going to beat back this menace, which is stripping our forest of food, foliage, and native birds?

PUKEKO
In the heart of Auckland's Western Springs wetlands live two unlikely families.  Promiscuous, incestuous, and living in an entirely natural way - meet New Zealand's native Pukeko.

SANCTUARY
Kapiti Island Reserve, established in the 1890s, has been a refuge for some of the country's most unique wildlife.  This film shares the time environmentalists John Kendrick and Geoff Moon spend on Kapiti Island as they show us some of their work and discuss the island's management future.
