Last term, while we were on school camp, we visited the kakapo chicks in Invercargill. We had been studying them before our visit, so we knew that they were critically endangered.
When we got back to school we decided that we wanted to do more to help this species of precious birds survive. We held a mufti day on the last of term to raise money.
We used the money raised to adopt a Kakapo bird for a year. We adopted Nora. Nora was found on Stewart Island. She has been key to the breeding programme which has been run by DOC.
Today we received a package from DOC, which had our adoption certificate, and a a fluffy soft Nora. We also got a bookmark each that tells us all about Nora.
We are excited to be making a difference and to be helping to save a species.
