New Zealand: Heron of the Single Flight

New Zealand is a land rich in forests and fjords, mists and mystery. But commerce imperils much of the nation's beauty and resources. The Cousteau team witnesses old-growth forests stripped for timber wealth, hovers in a helicopter over dark waters where Japanese ships vacuum the sea of squid, and films the astonishing elephantfish, netted to be half of fish and chips. The native Maori culture suggests a different path: a reverence for everything living.
