Kauri Dieback
The Kauri trees are important to our world and have been here for ages and now they are dying out quickly because of Kauri Dieback which is when we transfer soil from place to place, the soil carries germs and when these germs get into the roots of a tree it slowly starts to kill the tree.
60 metres across from the biggest Kauri tree is another tree and that other tree is infected by Kauri Dieback and both trees are huge so there roots are possibly intertwined and because of that the biggest Kauri tree might soon be infected and die and the trees are useful for shining wood but we should protect them as that will lower the numbers.
Phytophthora was detected in Kauri on Great Barrier Island in the 1970s and was never thought to spread because of the ocean in between but because of animals and people travelling also our country is famous for tourists but they don't know about Kauri Dieback so they don't clean their shoes at the stations or care for our native trees.
