Re: New Zealand much larger than i expected

All this hand wringing :-) The world is as it is now and it is still rapidly changing. We are not going to have a world of no growth, with no climate or wildlife change. We are not going back to...

Re: New Zealand much larger than i expected

Sorry - you were right ref pigs :-)
