Saving the Kiwi

Today Ella is going to share her piece of writing on why we should work hard to save the kiwi, as you can see it's an issue Room 8 feel strongly about.


Saving the Kiwi



K2 is a brown kiwi who had an accident after he was born which made his leg twist round the opposite way round, which is why I believe we should help all Kiwis.

Kiwis are endangered, the most endangered species of kiwi is the Haast Tokoeka and the Rowi with a small amount of about 350 remaining. The brown kiwi has the most with approximately 25, 0000. So if we don’t protect our precious kiwi they will all be as dead as a Dodo.

As I said before, kiwis are endangered! If we don’t help the kiwi they will be extinct, which is terrible because they only live in New Zealand.  If they die there will be no more kiwi left in the world. If they all get wiped out we will have no symbol. The Australians get the Kangaroos, why can’t we have something special that lives in our country.


Our national emblem is the kiwi because no other country has any. Your probably thinking, so what? Why do you need a national emblem?  Well the truth is, we don’t, but they're endangered and native. No one looked after them so we did, and since then we are called kiwis.

Kiwi are endangered their native and their New Zealand’s national emblem. We need to take care of them. Imagine being a kiwi and all your friends and family are dying you wouldn’t be happy at all would you?

Well Ella, you have got me thinking! I wonder what we could do to make a difference. I certainly think getting the issue out to a wider audience is a start. Well done.
