[00:00.00] | The bird recordings and recreated songs you hear now |
[00:03.82] | are all of species that have disappeared |
[00:06.58] | from these main-island forests. |
[00:08.69] | we can't just blame Tibbles and his kin. |
[00:11.72] | Humans have brought a whole range of mammalian competitors |
[00:15.55] | and predators to these shores. |
[00:17.75] | Today, the people of New Zealand are making amends. |
[00:21.38] | This is New Zealand's most famous tree - Tane Mahuta, |
[00:26.50] | Lord of the Forest. “ |
[00:27.80] | There's more wood in this kauri tree |
[00:29.69] | than in any other tropical tree in the world. |
[00:32.81] | conservationists are working hard to protect |
[00:35.35] | and nurture these special forests. |
[00:37.57] | By collecting kauri seeds, |
[00:39.23] | they ensure that new trees can be cultivated |
[00:42.05] | and the forest expanded into its former range. |
[00:45.42] | Meanwhile, the animal invaders are being controlled, |
[00:48.92] | and birds that only survived on small outlying islands |
[00:52.32] | are now being reintroduced to these mighty forests. |
[00:55.99] | Back in Hawaii, being the remotest of all archipelagos, |
[01:00.77] | you might expect the unique wildlife to have fared rather better. |
