Janette

I started reading a book about why different societies over the last 13,000 years have either collapsed or been conquered or, conversely, have flourished and conquered others. It starts out by discussing the ancient Polynesians, who colonized New Zealand and killed off many of the large flightless birds native to the island.
A lot of people think kiwis are extinct. They're not. You're thinking of the dodo.
However, they are endangered, but much of their habitat in New Zealand is in protected forests and national parks.
The Maori people have ceased the hunting of kiwi, and now consider themselves the guardians of these shy, nocturnal birds.
This is Janette.
