<dc:title>Te Wāhipounamu - South West New Zealand World Heritage Area</dc:title>
<dc:subject>Tourism</dc:subject>
<dc:description>The World Heritage Site Te Wāhipounamu is located on the South Island of New Zealand. It occupied approximately 10% of New Zealand's land. It is an extensive natural heritage area which contains valleys, peaks, lakes, glaciers and other various natural features. There are four national parks in Te Wāhipounamu, which are Mount Cook, Westland Tai Poutini, Mount Aspiring and Fiordland. Since they are located close together, the scenery density in this area is significantly high. Despite its stunning scenery, it is special because of its unique New Zealand ecological system. Endangered birds, the kea and takahē, can be found in this area. The national symbol of New Zealand, the kiwi bird, is visible as well. In addition, regarding trees, the southern beech also lives here. 

Digital interpretation can address the Goal 13: Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. By doing so, the natural landscape, features, e.g. glaciers, and the unique ecological system can be protected and preserved.
