Extinction is the final and irrevocable end of a species, and the fate of most living things throughout the earth’s history. Many of New Zealand’s native animals have been lost since people arrived – including the hefty moa and the lovely huia, and a host of less familiar species. We may just be able to save the takahē, the saddleback and other creatures that are hovering on the brink.
