Native Fauna Conservation in New Zealand
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 September 2009
Extract
In 1922 the Animals Protection and Game Act set out a list of protected birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibia, and specified that it was illegal to have their skins eggs, and feathers in private possession. As a commentary on the predominance of birds in the New Zealand fauna, the entries in this list under the heading “Birds” filled just short of four pages, whilst under “Mammalia” appeared only the two native bats, under “Reptiles” the tuatara and under “Amphibia” two native frogs.
