Will the King sink or swim?

for the Tasmanian Azure Kingfisher

Endangered

By Natalie, age 7

In my artwork you can see a mother Tasmanian Azure Kingfisher watching as the river is flowing dangerously up the side of the riverbank towards the nest she dug to lay her eggs. Unfortunately, these banks can be affected when people build things up the river that cause flooding or if cattle trample the plants who hold the riverbank soil so it does not wash away. There are only about 250 more adult Tasmanian Azure Kingfishers. We need to protect their homes to stop these beautiful birds from being washed away.
