This Bird Is In Danger The black stilt, the world' s rarest wading bird, has for its main habitat the South Island' s Ahuriri River _ Only about 50 birds survive. Irrigation interests want to take water out of the Ahuriri, leaving insufficient for the black stilt. The Planning Tribunal, later this year 9 will decide whether irrigation interests will have their way. The Environmental Defence Society will argue the case for the black stilt. EDS is a group of lawyers, scientists and conservationists who give their professional time free. They are supported_ only by a small but loyal membership. A long hearing and the preparation of expert evidence still costs a lot. Some donations have been received already from Forest and Bird branches but more is required. Help EDS save the black stilt. Send a donation today to: EDS, PO Box 5496, Auckland.
