THE KEA
Sir,—The depredation of the keas at Arthur’s Pass is absolutely negligible and , overwhelmingly offset by the very considerable interest in the keas to visitors the world over. This is what the National Parks are -for, and riot for the convenience of a few residents, who mostly live there for a very short period. After all, man can pursue his activities in other parts of the world; but the keas are making their last stand in the sanctuaries set aside, for them. These must remain inviolate at all costs, if the everdwindling bird life of New Zealand is to be preserved.—Yours, etc.. A. X. MULLETT. October 24. 1947.
