Sperm whales are endangered because of extensive hunting during the 18 to 19th century for oil and their teeth to write with scrimshaw.  They are threatened by whalers currently because they have much more able ships with better equipment that whalers used to have.

Plastic problems

   Issue

The problem with plastic is that too many people use products made out of it. Also we increase the problem with plastic by littering. There are billions of dozens of plastic items floating located in the pacific called the great Pacific patch. Animals of all kinds are trapped or even killed by plastic products because they think of it as food or run into them.

Cause

The massive size of the Great Pacific patch is due to people littering plastic bottles or bags. We might even lose possesion of a plastic bag and float to the Pacific patch. Since plastic is not bio degradable instead of breaking down it breaks into smaller pieces and animals mistake this for food.

 Solution 

Solving this problem maybe hard but we could prevent the Pacific patch from expanding. We could simply reduce the amount of plastic we use and use tote bags or bags made of natural materials. 

Kaitiakitanga

Kaitiakitanga is the guardianship of of nature.

Introduced species are animals not native to a country.

Most of them have been mating and also eating the native plants and animals.

Inroduced species have an impact on animals because they have hunted some native birds to extinction specifically flightless ones .They also eat our native plants.

They have made 1080 to kill predators of the native birds. DOC is getting rid of invasive weeds.

Stoats: Stoats are a large threat and common threat of native birds. People are using 1080 to control the stoats and get rid of them this has proven an almost success.

Kiore:  Kiore first arrived in Newzealand by the Maori. They originated in south east asia and colinated in parts of polynesia. The Maori introduced them becouse there weren't any mammals except for bats.
