For the past few days I have been paging through the March - April Edition of the New Zealand Geographic magazine. It is a very interesting thing to look at concidering what they are all covering in it. One of the first things that they talk about in this magazine is the breeding of the albatross birds. The way it sounded that they have been breeding these birds since the 1930s, to try and get them more populus in the areas. There is an article on the red deer as well. There was one phrase at the beginning of this article that I thought was kinda neat and it reads "Considered both godsend and vermin, it has been worshipped and vilified, protected and slautghter.It presence has given rise to huts and hunters, caused a few Kiwis to become the best aviators in the world, and brought about an unexpected diversification in farming." I thought that this was interesting because it can show the different cultures or maybe different points of views in looking at this animal. Just like in the US there are people who want to protect every little animal or any thing that breaths and moves and there are others who like to hunt and harvest from the land food. In this article the ways that they retrieve the deer are crazy. It showed some pitures of a helicopter pulling one out and throwing them on the hood of a car. One of the last articles features a scuba diver, which interested me because I love to scuba dive. I show picture of him retrieving all sorts of treasure. Over all I think this Geographic Magazine is really diversified in what is in it from deer hunting to scuba diving. It is not something you probably wouldn't find about the US.
