Sanctuary Mountain, also known as Maungatautari, is a prominent ecological restoration project located in the Waikato region of New Zealand. It features a predator-proof fence that protects native wildlife from introduced predators, allowing endangered species to thrive in their natural habitat. The mountain is home to various native plants and animals, including the rare kiwi and takahe. The area offers walking tracks and educational opportunities for visitors to learn about New Zealand's unique ecosystems. Sanctuary Mountain is part of a larger conservation effort aimed at preserving the country's biodiversity and promoting sustainable practices in wildlife management.
