Wild Horse, Wild Country

The Kaimanawa ranges in the Central North Island have been home to one of the few horse herds in the world, which has never been managed by man. But the horses are devastating a unique landscape containing tiny rare plants which are millions of years old. This documentary examines the balance of our conservation values.
