Mt Cook Kea Canvas
Mt Cook Kea Canvas
Description : The Mount Cook Kea Canvas is a chance to share with those visiting you, your love of New Zealand and its wildlife. Kea are the worlds only alpine parrot and are found exclusively in the Southern Alps of New Zealand's South Island.
Mount Cook is a critical habitat for Kea. Here they face threats from human conflict, introduced predators and lead poisoning. A study in 2012 indicated that their natural curiosity is leading them consume lead from roofs at elevated rates causing heavy declines in the local population. Given only five thousand or so Kea remain this is a deeply concerning trend.
Thankfully some ambitious conservation projects have been launched to save the kea. Including the predator free Mackenzie basin project. You can learn about the revolutionary work they're doing with drones here.
This is a great conversation tool as it invites conversations from those who see the image, about Kea and their importance to New Zealand. You can also join our social Media community where we regularly post updates about the locations and animals featured in your canvas.
We ship worldwide and offer 30 days returns.
