Learn the kind of wildlife you might find in your own garden, and how to turn it into a haven for birds, lizards and weta.
More than 80 species of lizard live in New Zealand. We have geckos and skinks, and 33 of our skinks are found nowhere else in the world. Invite these special creatures into your garden.
Learn why it's great to attract lizards to your garden and how to create a haven for them.
