This picture was taken at the TAKITUMU CONSERVATION AREA which is a reserve for native birds and plants.
What type of people would throw and leave their rubbish in our beautiful paradise?
To me I think that we have to be responsible for our environment because if no one will look after it then who would?
This image shows us how by appreciating the small things in nature, we can better understand how we are all part of a much bigger picture. Like how this person has picked up the small flowers dropped from a tree and turned it into a beautiful big bouquet of flowers. It shows us how everything is connected in nature.
This image is of a Brazilian rose, created into a bouquet from just one tree. It inspires me to understand what a big impact nature has on us and how it helps us and our birds. I think we should give back what nature has given us people.
In the garden of “Te Maire Nui” were found species we have never seen before. A lizard that start his journey through the darkness and into the light. An Dandy Skink that can grow up to 20cm, endemic and thriving in the Cook Islands.
This image shows an excavator doing a useful job of creating a sea wall to stop more erosion of the coast. It also shows our precious lagoon looking all ugly with the rubbish and the excavator ruining our beach and sea life. It makes you wonder if this is the best solution?
The message behind my image is about the flower of the banana helping the bananas grow into a bunch of bananas to feed our people. Everything in nature works together in a cycle.
This image shows all the seaweed that has been washed up on the shore. The seaweed makes the beach look ugly, but it is natural and not manmade rubbish, so it doesn’t cause trouble to our lagoon and sea life. It does makes you wonder if human pollution has had something to do with the amount of seaweed in our lagoon.
My image shows how people use the environment for their own purposes, destroying the habitat and causing wildlife to leaving their own habitat and homes.
My image shows Rutaki beach. I picked this to show how our people are destroying our coastal area to stop the big wave to come on to the road.
An eel in the pond, needs clean water to swim around. Don’t waste the water, or pollute the wate or the eel will die. The eel cleans the water, every day and night. So please look after our water.
My image represents how people can use man made rubbish to help the environment. Here a rubber tyre is being used to grow plants. You can see that the tyre is helping the plants that are inside it.
