Help Save Maui's Dolphins

Room 23 have been studying on the Maui's dolphin. An educational representitive from the W.W.F visited our classroom and demonstrated ways to prevent the killing of Maui's. Our findings show that Maui's dolphins are critically endangered animals, and are endemic to New Zealand. There are approximately 111 Maui's dolphins remaining in the world. Female Maui's only breed 1 - 3 babies in their lifetime. The cause of Maui's dolphins dying, is because of fisherman that fish in the areas of where the Maui's live, and they get injured. Also from boats that see Maui's, they get excited and drive up to the Maui's dolphins (the Maui's are injured by the propellers).

Our classroom have decided to adopt a dolphin, and we have suggested to our Principal, Mr Sweeney, to paint a mural in our school to show our community that we care about the Maui's dolphin, and we would like to protect them forever!

Lets all come together and help save our Precious Maui's dolphins!
