Welcome to the Wikispace created by two Year 10 students from Kamo High School in Northland, New Zealand. This Wiki was for a project that we were doing in our Environmental Studies class; we were needed to research a native forest creature and come up with a practical solution on how to protect it.

The criteria for our project can be found below:

Research Project:
Using NZ Forest as starting points, choose one of the species below. Research and present a multimedia presentation describing its ecology, food chain/web, your species part in biodiversity, importance to Forrest ecology and its future prospects. You will also need to describe what organizations exist to help and what we can do to help it. // ó Kiwi, // // ó Kereru, // // ó Kauri/flax snails, // // ó Saddleback, // // ó Ruru, // // ó Tui, // // ó Weta, // // ó Bats (both kinds), // // ó Kauri trees, // // ó Native skinks, // // ó Kokako, // // ó Takahe, // ó Pua reinga,

// 2. You will need to demonstrate and show evidence of a practical solution to helping your species. This could be raising money for the species or organization, raising community awareness about this species, raising family awareness, contributing to an online discussion, spending time helping an organization, do something for your species (i.e. helping out at the Kiwi house), checking with DOC about planting days, planting at Matakohe island.// //3. Your research should include; // // ¸ real interviews, // // ¸ <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif';">oral stories, // // ¸ <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif';">information from books, // // ¸ <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif';">internet research, // // ¸  <span style="font-family: 'Bookman Old Style','serif';">multi-media research. //
