Karori Wildlife Sanctuary or Zealandia conserves endemic plants and animals from New Zealand in a valley just at the edge of Wellington. To keep introduced and harmful mammals out the whole 225 hectare area is protected by a pest-exclusion fence higher than a jumping cat. Das heute Zealandia genannte Karori-Reservat schützt die einheimischen Tiere und Pflanzen Neuseelands in einem Tal unmittelbar am Rand der Landeshauptstadt Wellington. Ein 220 Zentrimeter hoher Zaun hindert gefährliche invasive Arten am Eindringen in das Reservat, weil er zum Beispiel höher ist als eine Katze springen kann.
