Native Restoration: Bushy Park Sanctuary

The pīwakawaka or fantail, a notorious native bird.

Native birds of the Bushy Park Sanctuary.

Going from memory, I am reminded that the Bushy Park Sanctuary represents the still perpetuated division between humans and nature.

Though noble to help species thrive when human society threatens to wipe them out, this help involves
strictly monitored fences
animal traps
constant scientific documentation
money
minimal human visitation

Here they must keep most Western livelihoods, built on deforestation and invasive species, out.

There is no harmony between Western livelihoods and the spectacular beauty and wholeness of nature.

So now a fence divides us humans from that awe-inspiring nature that makes this world so great, and that we've severed our connection to.
