The Pukekos demise.

This story told of a small Pukeko who starts the day happily in her nest.  As she leaves and forages for food, her eggs are taken by a Hawk and a Possum.  This story captures our concerns about how our native birds are at risk from native and introduced predators.

The plight of the Kiwi

This story starts with the Kiwi exploring her forest.  She is sad to return to see that the trees have been cut down.  Then her environment is covered in rubbish, and finally she is attacked and killed by a stoat.  This story is about how people are thoughtlessly effective the environment of our native animals.
