Today we are going to talk about predators from New Zealand and getting rid of them. Predators are getting rid of animals. Organisations say that in 2050 it will be predator free in NZ. I watched three videos about getting rid of predators and I have to say which one I think is the best and why.
I think the third video was the best because it explains what animals are getting hurt why they are doing it and answers questions that you are most likely to say. The organisation is called ZIP. They are partnered with Doc Rangers. They use motion detectors to see if any action is going on. They put traps and cameras.
Thank you for coming to my blog. Please give me feedback. BYE!!
Hi Vitaraag,
ReplyDeleteIt's Leslie here, writing to you from the other side of the world. I live in a small town in Canada and I'm a member of the Summer Learning Journey team. Isn't it cool that I can live on the far side of the planet from you and yet be part of the same program?!
I think you made a good choice of video to discuss. They're all interesting, aren't they? But it's so helpful to learn about the strategies that are in place to see when and where predators are being active. It's too bad that many predators were introduced from other countries as people didn't realize the catastrophic effect they'd have on New Zealand's native species. This is a problem we have in Canada too.
When settlers first came to Canada from Europe hundreds of years ago, they brought animals and plants that they thought would thrive here. Many didn't. But some of those that did have knocked out some of the plants and animals that were here first. And that's a problem!! So we have conservation efforts going on here too to eliminate invasive species.
The world isn't really such a big place, is it? Problems that exist in one country often exist in another... It's a good thing that people are willing to work together to share knowledge and information and wisdom as to how to solve our problems...
I'm glad to be sharing in this program with you. I hope you're enjoying the SLJ activities. I'll keep on reading your blog.
Cheers,
Leslie
