Participate in environmental work for an international NGO!
New Zealand consists of many islands, the North and South Island being the largest. The dramatic and varied landscape of New Zealand has made it an attractive location for films, including the The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
The landscapes are among the most beautiful in the world. Don't wait to discover these idyllic postcard landscapes while participating in international conservation work in New Zealand, where sheep outnumber the inhabitants.
The New Zealand identity is strongly marked by a mixture of Maori and Pākehā culture. Even today, their traditions, manners, and customs are still respected.
