PROTECTION FOR GODWITS
— — -q REPRESENTATIONS MADE TO MINISTER (United Press Association) AUCKLAND, June 17. An assurance that proposals to include the godwit on the list of absolutely protected birds will receive full consideration is given by the Minister of Internal Affairs (the Hon. W. E. Parry) in reply to representations made by the Auckland provincial conference of the New Zealand Farmers’ Union.
Mr Parry recalls that previous representations had been made to him on the subject and that he had decided that the season this year should be reduced from two months to two weeks. He fully realized the remarkable life history of these birds and he believed that their long migratory flights made them well worthy of protection.
