Te Anau: input in the Parc Fiordland National

After a few hours drive from Queenstown, we arrived in Te Anau in the heart of the mountains at the edge of another lake. We planned a bit in advance (requires influx of hikers) to hike in the mountains of Fiordland National Park, so here we are! Dave (friend met during the project bats) had told us two things not to miss. The first is a movie directed by a helicopter pilot in the fjords of the area, it is called "Shadowland" (The world of darkness). This man has spent twenty years to ferry people around the park in his unit. He was really fascinated by the beauty of the landscape and decided to make a film in a camera hanging below the helicopter. Associated with cameramen film "The Lord of the Rings" it really gives an amazing result. There is no commentary, only music and it adds to the poetry of these images. Once the film made, there was no cinema in the small town of Te Anau, this pilot donc fait le choix d’en construire un, quel aventure ! La deuxième chose que nous devions voir est le Wildlife centre, comprenez un petit centre de soin pour des espèces natives. Il y a des kéa (vous savez, les perroquets alpins chenapans qui volent la nourriture des pauvres touristes sans défense), des pukekos, des canards plus ou moins originaires de Nouvelle-Zélande et surtout la star de ces lieux, le takahe. Depuis le temps que nous voulions le voir cet oiseau aux allures préhistoriques. Il s’agit d’un oiseau qui ne peut pas voler (et oui un de plus après le kiwi et le weka) et qui a été considéré comme disparu jusqu’au jour où quelqu’un en a aperçu un dans les fiords. It is protected and has been reintroduced to the islands "predator free" (free of predators). The takahe pukeko like a (big as moorhens and abundant in the North Island), but bigger and with a prehistoric look really (I know I repeat myself). The park rangers retrieve eggs from the wild to incubate them artificially (not themselves. ... With machines of course). They then feed them to the beaked, putting his hand in a sock and a red beak to mimic mom. This way they greatly increase the chances of survival of individuals that are not provided tame. A lot of work to save native species, as always in New Zealand.
