FAUNA AND FLORA.
PROTECTION OF BIRDS. CONTROL OF SANCTUARIES. (By Telegraph.— Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. A conference of New Zealand aeclimitisation societies opened to-flay. The president, Mr. L. O. H. Tripp (Wellington), stressed the need to protect native birds, which, he said, were holding their own and in some cases on the increase. He thought they would increase considerably if people planting plantations would remember to plant flower and berry trees. He thought that certain areas should be taken and cleared of vermin. It was also important that island sanctuaries should be kept as sanctuaries. Out of 30 islands there were only two with caretakers. He considered that when the leases of Auckland and Campbell Islands had lapsed the Government should establish them as sanctuaries for fauna and flora.
