Notes
March of the Armyworm -
Armyworms decimate crops and will take a thriving vege garden down to stalks overnight. Then they will come inside and eat your houseplants.

Where the Seabirds were -
Raucous, stinking colonies of seabirds blanketed huge areas of Aotearoa's mainland, each burrow and poo and eggshell helping fuel the forests. Thoses birds are gone now.

Turning the Tide -
A team of New Zealanders and Tongans have just carpeted a remote volocanic island in Tonga with poisoned bait, hoping to eradicate rats and restore a vibrant ecosystem of seabirds, forest animals, coral reefs and marine life.

Raise up the Billowing Sail -
The difference between exploring and being lost is the ability to return home. Te Ra tells the story of Maori voyaging and weaving technology, and has finally returned home for now.
