We definitely need to do a lot more so we can save the forest and the animals living in it. This is a good start. We should make sure that the future generation will still have the chance to see these beautiful creatures. Heads up: I bet some kids are interested in nurturing our environment too. Might as well introduce them to the right ways. You can let them try Maddie&Matt's Happy Earth for one. It's good for them.

Hopefully DoC and AHB will stop pouring 1080 poison over our forests and waterways - killing our native birds and poisoning our environment. See the evidence at tvwild.co.nz

Excellent story that was really enjoyed but please, correct pronunciation of the name Takahe soon turned to annoying cringe with the constant "Taka-hay"... Just remember the a,e,i,o,u sounds and go from there... I'm sure you know enough about this stuff!!!
