kiwi

Last month primary 3 were learning about biodiversity and endangered animals and decided to sponsor a kiwi as they are at risk of extinction.  We learned that biodiversity is all the wildlife in the world around us, from wildflowers and insects to mammals and birds.  Biodiversity is very important to our world and we learned that all species have as much moral right to exist as we do.

 

Kiwis are found in New Zealand and although it is a bird it is more like a mammal.  It has tiny wings, but cannot fly and they are nocturnal which means they come out at night and sleep during the day.  Our kiwi is called Lag and he was born in December.  Sadly their numbers are decreasing but if people continue to sponsor them hopefully this will turn the kiwi numbers around.
