FALLEN FROM GRACE { 41 images } Created 25 Mar 2020
The rarest bird in New Zealand is the fairy tern, with perhaps 36 adults left in existence.
It’s got everything going against it: weather, cats, its own DNA, and the fact that humans love the white-sand beaches where it raises its young.
Only a small group of people, many of them volunteers, stand between it and oblivion.
What will we lose if it vanishes altogether?
