The dancing one

for the Eastern Curlew

Critically Endangered

By Dana, age 7

The Eastern Curlew is in danger because of humans building harbours on its home. Us humans are greedy, selfish and don’t see what our new inventions and creations are doing to the wild. I wanted to show how much at peace and happy this bird would be if it weren’t for us. We must stop harming nature today.
