Kiwi Crisis

In New Zealand we are losing more and more kiwi each year, if we don’t do something now we are going to lose our national symbol. But is it worth saving them? Wouldn’t you save yourself if you were suffering what kiwis are?

Kiwis are an endangered species. Only 25,000 brown kiwis remain in NZ. 80 years ago about 5 million kiwi and in 2008 there were only 72,600, this number is estimated to decline to 63,500 by 2018 because of us. We need to do spend some money on something the whole of newzealand cares about.

Kiwis are only found in New Zealand of our most threatened kiwi the rowi and the haast tokoeka, only 350 of these kiwis remain to survive. They are found in the two separate regions of the west coast of the south island. So why can’t we save the kiwi there’s no excuse for us not to. At the moment these areas  are not safe and we need to do something about it.

Kiwis are a symbol to New Zealand and we don’t want our name to be taken away for something we did. Tourist come to NZ to look at the kiwi because of cause they don’t have them in their country. Tourists go to gift shops with kiwi items and we get money from those gift shops. But if kiwi go extinct, NO MORE MONEY, NO MORE TOURISTS!!! Tourists are a big part of New Zealands economy.

So do help save the kiwi as they are close to extinction, are only found in NZ , and are our national symbol. DONATE NOW!!
