	Description:		A proposed 3313-hectare fenced ecosanctuary in Wainuiomata would see critically endangered species such as kakapo, kokako and hihi return to the valley, says its author Jim Lynch. Lynch is the founder and architect of the Zealandia sanctuary in Wellington, which opened in 1999 and has come to fruition in the last 5-6 years. The proposed Puketaha sanctuary would be about 15 times the size of Zealandia, and Lynch says it could provide a blueprint for a national network that would help end the threat of extinction constantly hanging over our forest birds.
