Meet the Locals - He Tuku Aroha is a stunning walk-through precinct at Wellington Zoo where visitors get up close and personal with some of the native animals that make New Zealand special as well as taking a very kiwi journey from the coast to the mountains. It's a special part of the zoo and something its' designers are very proud of.

He Tuku Aroha won the Isthmus team the Institutional award at the 2017 Resene NZILA Pride of Place awards - listen to the Isthmus team, and the zoo talk about their love story to Aotearoa.
