		New Zealand fairy terns may be the most critically endangered bird in New Zealand, and perhaps even the world’s rarest tern, new DNA evidence suggests.

		But, for example, no bird deaths have been reported during the ten years of operation of the Brooklyn wind turbine and the Tararua wind farm has had approximately 10 reported bird deaths in five years.
		Even if bird mortality rates caused by wind turbines are lower than other anthropogenic sources and studies have shown that birds are able to habituate to the new environment, a well thought-out design of the sites may reduce the risks of bird fatalities.
		Developers should contact bird specialists such as Forest and Bird and conduct a thorough analysis of the risk to birdlife as part of the Assessment of Environmental Effects (AEE) of the wind farm proposal.

		Whole orders and families are found only in New Zealand: tuatara, moa and kiwi, all of the native lizards, and all the native earthworms (nearly 200 species) to name just a few.
		A definitive feature of New Zealand's land-based plants and animals is their degree of specialisation and narrow habitat requirements (eg takahë/tussock grasslands; blue duck/fast flowing rivers and streams), and their evolution in the absence of mammalian predators (birds) or browsers (plants).
		Many new species were introduced (since 1840 over 80 species of mammal, bird and fish and more than 1,800 plant species) totally changing the landscape and ecology.

	12/7/2004 -- New Zealand State Coal Company Plans to Mine Kiwi Habitat
		CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand, July 12, 2004 (ENS) - New Zealand's largest conservation organization today announced its intention to appeal the decision by local councils to permit an open pit coal mine in an unprotected wild area inhabited by a subspecies of New Zealand's vanishing national bird, the kiwi.
		Lockwood says the New Zealand government is acting in a contradictory manner by approving the open coal mine while professing to be taking action to limit climate change.
		The only reason the valley itself has not been protected, in spite of repeated recommendations that it should be, is because of very strong lobbying by the coal mining industry in the past, the conservation group says.

		As wind farm development in New Zealand is at a relatively early stage, we don't know much about potential birds death rates.
		To put the issue into perspective, in the UK every year more than 10 million birds are killed by cars and 55 million by domestic cats.(2) The Exxon Valdez oil spill alone is estimated to have killed up to 500,000 birds.
		Even if bird mortality rates caused by wind turbines are lower than other man-made sources and studies have shown that birds are able to adapt to the new environment, a well thought-out design of the sites may reduce the risks of bird fatalities.
