   Conservation Week starts tomorrow. During that week, DOC – the Department of Conservation – would like New Zealanders to celebrate our special places and our native wildlife.

  What are our special places? Our National Parks are some of our special places. New Zealand has 14 National Parks. The largest is Fiordland National Park, at 12, 519 square kilometres while the smallest is Abel Tasman National Park at 225 square km. This is a very popular place on the NE coast of the South Island.
  The coastline of our country, with beaches and rocky shores, gives us many other special places to visit and enjoy the natural scenery. Native bush on hills and around mountains also gives us popular places to visit and enjoy the natural scenery.
  Our native wildlife includes sea mammals such as dolphin and seals. Yesterday DOC created a new marine1 reserve around Taranaki to protect the Maui Dolphin. Listen to April 15 2013 to hear about the Akaroa marine reserve.
  Other native wildlife are our native birds, lizards2 and insects. The only native mammals are bats. All other mammals like sheep, cows, dogs, cats and so on are not native to New Zealand. When the first Maori came to New Zealand, probably about 700 years ago, there were no land mammals. Maori brought dogs and rats with them. Europeans brought farming mammals in the 19th century.
  So this week is a time to teach children about looking after our native landscape, plants and animals. It’s a time for all of us to enjoy our special outdoor places.
