The Fiordland Rainforest

In conclusion, the reason why we should save the Fiordland rainforest is because they need lots of help with their overcrowding issues and getting everything put back together. Some ways we can help are donations, projects, and buying sustainably sourced products.

Animals were overcrowding the Rainforest! The ecosystem and plants had all gotten so used to be isolated that when Maori people and animals came, lots of plants weren't growing properly.

All of these animals, on an island, in New Zealand. The land stretched for miles, so surely they had lots of room, but in reality, they weren't native, so the native species of plants and animals didn't have room. The flowers didn't have easy access to sun and water, and some of the animals could starve because of the food chain block, or they couldn't seek their natural shelters as easy as they could before.

They couldn't get help because they were so far away and isolated from everyone else.

belonging or relating to a particular area or neighborhood, typically exclusively so.

The relaxing water sounds, tree leaves shaking in the breeze, and the cool temperatures of anywhere from 40.1 degrees to 44.9 degrees Fahrenheit. If any of these sound good to you, then you may want to visit the Fiordland Rainforest! 

The Fiordland Rainforest is located on the South Island of New Zealand and is counted as one of The world's most beautiful Rainforest's! It has been separate from other landmasses for over 80 million years, and is a part of a national park.

Fun Fact!

The Fiordland Rainforest was carved by glaciers over the span of 100,000 years!

It is home to many threatened bird species such as Takahe, Kiwi, blue duck (Whio,) and Yellowhead (Mohua.) Also home to other species such as Fiordland crested penguins, stoats, bush robins, tomtits, red beech trees, rimu trees, mountain buttercups, and the key alpine parrot! 

Don't be fooled though. They have severe overcrowding issues. But we can help them, even from our homes! Here's the story.

Finally, the DOC (Department of Conservation) caught on and started quite a few projects. Websites like www.visitfiordland have Donations and projects linked to them, and if you search "Fiordland Rainforest conservation Projects" You will get tons of results!

Also on that same website, they talk about the Fiordland guardianship program/project. All of these are amazing things, and they make it seem like they are all run by amazing people, which they are!

This rainforest is getting the help it needs and at last can begin getting some of it's naturals back!

I'd also like to mention that mining is a big issue there too. People want big finds of silver, gold, and diamond, which can be found in New Zealand. Trigger erosion is a big part of that with people blowing up land to get to those finds.

The important thing is that people helped and still are helping, because all 6% of the world that is rainforests matters.

On the previous page, I somewhat talked about how we can help the rainforests, but I also want to say some more. There are donations and projects, but these are some ways that you can help from your house even if you are across the globe from New Zealand, and some are helping MORE than just one rainforest! First, you could buy responsibly sourced products. For example, say you want to buy a beautiful bouquet of flowers for your mom because she works, cares, and is overall an amazing person, buy sustainably and locally sourced cut flowers! Or, you can try choosing products that give back! Brands like Teadora (A skincare company,) works with RFUS (Rainforest Foundation U.S.) to protect more that 500 square miles of Rainforest habitat for endangered species. The reason why we should save the Fiordland rainforest is because they need lots of help with their overcrowding issues and getting everything back together. Some ways we can help are donations, projects, and buying sustainably trusted products.

Dear reader, my name is Emma Jacobs. I am ten years old. My birthday is February 13th, 2013. I was born in Murfreesboro Tennessee, and I live with my mom, dad, sister, and two dogs, Bo and Maddie. Some of my favorite things are the color purple, Dr. Pepper, snickerdoodle cookies, Taylor Swift's music, My friends (Mari, Ava, Aisley), Broadway musicals, and dancing in the rain, I'm in fifth grade with Dr. Agee as my homeroom teacher. I chose Fiordland because I prefer cold weather over hot weather, and Fiordland fit that! I hope that one day they can be back normal again. I really enjoy writing and want to write more books. Sincerely, your author, -Emma Jacobs.

The Fiordland's were perfect. Cool breeze, plants growing splendid, waterfalls rushing, all was perfect... Well, until one day that is. As I said earlier, Fiordland has been isolated for 80. million years, so all the plants were used to growing alone with no one around them. The disruption was caused by humans!

Even later, Maori people thought that the forest was "dull", so they introduced large mammals to fill up the "Blank space," those large mammals being red deer, chamois, and rabbits. Stoats and ferrets later came to help control the rabbits.

Tomtit!
