Quickly an important industry developed around the Kauri forests. Originally covering 1.2 million hectares, this area had been reduced by 75per cent by the late 1800s and today only 4000 hectares remain of these majestic giants of the forest, mostly in protected parks and reserves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIllustrated throughout with monochrome images, sketches, map showing the area where the Kauri flourished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCONDITION\u003cbr\u003e\nNew\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eREMARKS\u003cbr\u003e\nScarce new\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unicorn Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55450446135588,"sku":null,"price":59.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1013\/1901\/6740\/files\/74918.jpg?v=1783128917","url":"https:\/\/unicornbooks.co.nz\/products\/kauri-timber-days-an-account-of-the-kauri-timber-industry-in-new-zealand-new","provider":"Unicorn Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
