Feathers of Hope - Pateke's Last Dance on Tiritiri Matangi Island
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this print by Mark Boulton, the enchanting MAB-477 (Brow Teal / New Zealand Teal) takes center stage. With its vibrant teal and brown plumage, this critically endangered Maori beauty known as Pateke is a true symbol of resilience. Tiritiri Matangi island near Auckland, New Zealand serves as the backdrop for this rare spectacle. Once abundant across the country, these dabbling ducks have faced a perilous decline due to habitat loss and predation from introduced mammals. Now, with only an estimated 1000 birds remaining in existence, their survival hangs in the balance. But fear not! The NZ Dept of Conservation has launched a remarkable recovery program involving selected captive collections nationwide. These efforts offer hope for our feathered friends' future. Caught mid-flight against a stunning Australasian sunset sky, MAB-477 proudly showcases its unique ringed tag—a testament to human dedication towards conservation. This single bird represents countless others fighting for their place in the world. Let this awe-inspiring image remind us that every action counts when it comes to protecting our precious wildlife. So join us on this journey through nature's wonders and let your heart take flight alongside these magnificent teals—because together we can make a difference!
