Week 5
Next week Kotuku and Kereru classes will visit the Brook Waimarama Sanctuary for a hands-on forest experience for our topic.  Read the passage below and visit the Brook Sanctuary website using the link to answer the questions related to the wild life you may see at the sanctuary.

Imagine a place... where native plants and animals thrive, without threat from introduced pests. ... alive with birdsong, where rare species such as kiwi, tuatara and kakapo roam freely. ... where you can get involved and make a difference. ... where visitors can see native flora and fauna close to home.
The Brook Waimarama Sanctuary is a community-based initiative working to create a pest-free wildlife sanctuary close to the Nelson city centre in New Zealand. Integral to creating the Brook Waimarama Sanctuary is construction of a pest-proof fence 14km long, to enclose the area, and to eradicate all the pest mammals within it. This will enable the re-creation of a historic piece of New Zealand which today is only found on a few offshore islands. Resident birds, reptiles and invertebrates will flourish and species previously lost from the area will be re-introduced. The project was launched in 2004 and has strong community involvement and support.


*Read the passage above from the Brook Sanctuary website*  

1. Which rare species of New Zealand animal will be able to roam freely in the Brook Sanctuary?

2. Which pests do you think the workers need to keep out of the Brook Sanctuary?

3. Why do these pests need to be kept out?

4. Why do you think it is important to have a wildlife sanctuary where native flora and fauna can thrive?

Brook Waimarama Sanctuary


5. Click on the link above and then click on the name of each bird to see if it is found at the Brook Sanctuary.  Name 5 birds you may see when we visit.

6. What is an invertebrate and which two live at the Brook Sanctuary?
