This scale 1:82 model of a kauri tree was built by Wētā Workshop for Waikato Regional Council to help spread the message about protecting kauri.
#Kauri are affected by the disease 'kauri dieback' caused by the fungus-like organism #Phytophthora agathidicida (that I described in 2015) .
The roots of the trees are infected by this #PlantPathogen, so it is important to not disturb the roots or move any soil into their zone. This model helps illustrate the extent of the root zone.
