Summer Learning Journey Week One Day/Five Activity 1

Week One Day Five Activity 1 (4 points)

Success Criteria: On your blog tell us whether you think logging should be allowed in New Zealand. Be sure to provide at least two reasons to support your argument.

I think logging helps us humans from the wood made into paper but mostly I don’t think logging should be allowed in New Zealand.

I think it shouldn’t be allowed in New Zealand because when these builders cut down trees its actually killing animals that are living in that tree. They are also forcing them to rebuild and find a  home somewhere else but then that tree might get cut down as well they moved to, so this cycle goes over and over again.

Another reason that might be the same is that its not only killing our common birds such as the sparrow birds it’s killing our native birds like the tui, black robins and the New Zealand bellbird.

I also think that we can still log in Aotearoa. I just think we only can used a specific amount of trees for logging so it decreses the number of native trees, birds and their homes.

But not only the native birds the logging is also killing the native trees such as the endangered pine tree, rimu, totara, pohutukawa etc.

Personal Comment: I strongly believe that logging is not a good thing here to be doing in New Zealand because of all the reasons above.
