The last 36 remaining New Zealand fairyterns are now threatened by a proposed subdivision near their habitat, according to the country's largest environmental group, the Royal Forest and Bird Protection Society of New Zealand.
New Zealand fairyterns may be the most critically endangered bird in New Zealand, and perhaps even the worlds rarest tern, new DNA evidence suggests.
Records from the 19th century suggest that fairyterns used to be widespread around the coast of the North Island and eastern South Island, but were not abundant in any one area.
