Forests Will Flourish is one of three themes that Wellington Zoo plans to develop to help promote the need for the sustainable use of New Zealand's natural resources and a balance between humans and nature.

This theme will show how flora and fauna depend on each other for survival.

Food chain and life cycle

Animals are essential to the process of seed dispersal. Through eating and spreading seeds they ensure the survival of the forest, their home and food sources. Predator and parasite species help maintain the balance by preventing the destruction of the forest.
