New Zealand's Birds




First, there are so many rich natures and land. Therefore, there are so many animals, such as fishes, frogs, insects, and birds. And I and our group choose birds for comparing New Zealand with Japan. So, our group searches about birds of New Zealand. And I search about birds that seem to become extinct.




In New Zealand, there are many rare birds. For example, north island saddlebacks, kiwi and kakapo are endangered and threatened species. Especially, kiwi and kakapo are special on New Zealand. They became to be able to fry during a process of the evolution. So, they had been preyed by the animals of the naturalized species and had been hunted and destroyed their habitation areas by human for living and developing.




For contrast, In Japan, birds that seem to become extinct were not rare in old days. But, now they are rare. Most of natures such as forests and feeding grounds that they lived were destroyed. I thinik they are beautiful.


Finally, both Japan and New Zealand protect them. So I hope that it is relieved to decrease.
