The land of the long white cloud
New Zealand is a group of islands in the Pacific Ocean. There are two main islands: North and South Island. New Zealand's neighbour is Australia, 1,600 km away, so it may get lonely! New Zealand is 23 million years old! It has about 50 volcanoes, and some are still active today. Nature in the islands is very beautiful: it has high mountains, with snowy peaks and rocky shores. New Zealand has unique wildlife. For example, you will not see the famous kakapo and kiwi in other countries. There are a lot of birds in New Zealand and many of these birds cannot fly. The native people, the Maoris, and the europeans brought new animals to the islands; they killed the flightless birds-so many of these beautiful animals are now extinct.
If New Zealanders cut down more forests, more birds will become extinct, even the kiwi. There are now about 75000 wild kiwis in New Zealand. If we protect their habitat, they and the kakapo will survive and grow.
New Zealand has two million tourists a year. People come for the sandy beaches and incredible landspace: volcanoes, lakes and waterfalls, and fjords. New Zealand is the home of bungee jumping: if you like adventure, you will enjoy this crazy sport!
