Fighting for a Living Planet: Birds such as the Kagu (Rhynochetos jubatus), the only living representative of an entire family unique to New Caledonia, are seriously reduced in numbers and are now confined to isolated fragments of their former range. This has serious implications for the maintenance of their genetic integrity and hence continued survival if inbreeding is to be avoided. Twenty-one other bird species are only found on New Caledonia

Very nice lens. 5***** I spent a few days in New Caledonia in 1988 and it's a beautiful place. I only had chance to visit Noumea, the capital, but would love to go back.

CONGRATULATIONS. Your lens has been added as a featured lens on my "I've Been There" lens. Only lenses that are worthy get listed, I'm so pleased you made it.
