Call for Sanctuaries
The Society would also welcome the responsibility of administering suitable sanctuaries for land or sea birds, provided that a small annuity is added for the payment of a caretaker. Such sanctuaries could be named after the donor, and would thus be a perpetuation of his name as a saviour of New Zealand’s forest and bird life. It is suggested that such sanctuaries should be administered in a manner to ensure their return to the original natural conditions as nearly as possible; to prevent the destruction of native carnivora, except upon the recommendation of recognized authorities on wild life conservation; to eliminate all exotics to the utmost extent.
