Our science. Our story. Our islands.  Now in the card-game, Cloak of Protection. The birds are being wiped out.  We now have the environmental science, and know which predator is, or had been, eating what. So can you save these islands?  Like our conservation story - it's a challenge that will take strategy, co-operation and a little bit of luck. For all the family, ages 7 - adult. Come and see who can be the first to weave a new feather Cloak of Protection. For more information visit www.maharagallery.org.nz
