<dc:title>Tongariro National Park, North Island, New Zealand</dc:title>
<dc:subject>Tourism</dc:subject>
<dc:description>Tongariro National Park is a World Heritage Site located on the North Island of New Zealand. It is famous for its volcanic scenery. The park has three major volcanos: Mount Ruapehu, the highest peak of the North Island, Mount Tongariro, and Mount Ngauruhoe. They are all part of the Pacific Ring of Fire. All of the volcanos are still classified as active, so there is a reasonable possibility that they may erupt. Statistics data show that Mount Ngauruhoe erupts every nine years. Unique local birds and vegetation can be found in Tongariro, e.g. whio, kiwi birds, and a large number of alpine plant species.

The area is significantly important to the local Maori people as a spiritual link between the people and nature. Preserving the culture is essential.

Technological interpretation will address Goal 13: Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts and Goal 15:
Protect, restore and promote sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably manage forests, combat desertification, and halt and reverse land degradation and halt biodiversity loss. </dc:description>
