EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Mark Carwardine, we witness the incredible journey of the Cook Strait giant weta.

The image transports us to Matiu-Somes Island, nestled in Wellington Harbour on New Zealand's North Island. Here, amidst lush greenery and breathtaking landscapes, we are introduced to these enchanting insects. With their unique appearance resembling a mix between grasshoppers and hands (yes, you read that right!), they effortlessly capture our attention. As we marvel at their vibrant colors and intricate details, it becomes evident that these wetas are true survivors. Endangered and delicate as they may be, their resilience shines through as they adapt and thrive once again in their natural habitat. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of conservation efforts worldwide. It showcases how dedicated individuals can make a significant impact on preserving endangered species for future generations to enjoy. So let's celebrate this heartwarming success story - an ode to teamwork between humans and nature - where tiny hands played a big role in saving these magnificent wetas from extinction!
