  12. 1. These ducklings are from Madagascar
    2. The groups that are trying to save the ducklings are called The Wetlands Trust, Wildfowl and the Durall wildlife conservation
    3. Brood means a breed, species, group or kind
    4. Some of the causes could be that hunters have tracked them down to make nice fluffy pillows, or that predators have attacked them
    5. I think it’s important to protect our endangered animals because if we don’t, they will all be killed and we won’t have any left. And if we don’t have any left, New Zealand is losing animals one at a time
