Acclimatisation Societies of New Zealand

10,000 Birds

Part of the world they wanted to transport was natural. Useful species were ones you could eat, or hunt, or preferably both, which is why New Zealand had several species of deer, the alpine goat-antelopes known as the Chamois and the Himalayan Tahr introduced. We don’t have monkeys, or wildebeest, or salmon here.
