The Birds In New Zealand

New Zealand is the most serious for protection of its nature. When you enter it, you are checked carefully because New Zealand prohibits foreigners from bringing many things into the place. For example, raw material, dairy products, even processed goods made from them, and so on. It is to protect original nature from parasites. Actually, New Zealand has an experience that many kinds of animals and plants were extinguished by another animals and plants from foreign countries in the past. New Zealand is island country so many animals lived peacefully. Of course, the birds, too. They lost their feathers because they didn’t need them. So they didn’t protect themselves from foreign animals. The Kiwis noticed the mistake and started protection of their nature. One of the protection is ecotourism. It is made by travel agencies and the nation. Participants watch video about protection of nature and actually go seeing it. Ecotourism is not only to protect the nature but also to let foreigners know the present condition in New Zealand.
