Aotearoa/New Zealand is a hotspot of threatened biodiversity. In recent years, a system of local/regional eco-sanctuaries has been developed, which now play a critical role in the intensive management of endangered endemic species as part of the wider restoration of New Zealand's indigenous biodiversity. Many of these projects have harnessed tourism as an important revenue stream to fund ecological restoration. Theoretically informed by the field of environmental philosophy and drawing upon the concept of ‘conservation narratives’, this paper aims to explore international visitors' perceptions of ecological restoration and experiences in New Zealand eco-sanctuaries using flash interviews informed by photo-elicitation. The findings reveal disparate interpretations of biodiversity and contrasting conservation narratives that underpin diverse visitor experiences at New Zealand eco-sanctuaries.

奥特罗阿/新西兰是受威胁生物多样性的热点地区。近年来，已经建立了一个地方/区域生态保护区系统，该系统现在在对濒危特有物种的集约化管理中发挥重要作用，这是新西兰土著生物多样性更广泛恢复的一部分。其中许多项目利用旅游业作为重要的收入来源来资助生态恢复。从理论上了解环境哲学，并借鉴“养护叙事”的概念，本文旨在利用图片启发下的快速访谈，探索国际游客对新西兰生态保护区生态恢复的看法和经验。
