T he fragility of New Zealand's ecosystem is illustrated by the list of plants and animals that have died out since the arrival of humans over 1000 years ago. Among the birds alone, at least 20 will never be seen again, including the phenomenal moa and the beautiful huia, prized for its elegant feathers. One bird which has survived against the odds is the Chatham Islands black robin. By the mid-) 970s wild rats, cats and opossums combined with the bush-felling human population - had reduced its numbers to a critically low seven.

Dear Stamp Enthusiast,
For a decade stamp collectors around the world have been combining the interest they have in developing their collections with support for the work of nature conservation.
When the World Wide Fund for Nature Conservation Stamp Collection first began in 1983 few would have foreseen either the current extent of the Collection or
the contribution it could make to conservation work.
WWF is an international charity devoted to the conservation of wild plants and animals and the places
where they live. WWF New Zealand, with its headquarters in Wellington, is part of this international network.
It is now abundantly clear that every species that becomes extinct, or is added to the endangered list, adds Sir Ed",und Hillary ONZ, KBE
to the threat to the survival of humanity itself. The new stamps depicted in this issue of 'Focus'
bearing WWF's distinctive Panda logo will add
to
the
awareness of WWF's conservation work in New Zealand.
Those of you who are members of WWF's stamp programme will have the added satisfaction of knowing that these new
ew Zealand Post stamps will, in due
course, be sold around the world as part of the WWF Conservation Stamp Collecrion to benefit the organisa-
tion's conservation work in New Zealand and elsewhere.

RETURNS 1993
One of the most popular stamps of the last few years is about to make a second comeback - this time in blue.
Local and international demand for the $1 Round Kiwi has been immense from the first, when a green version was released in 1988. The red Round Kiwi followed in 1991, to equally strong demand. Like its predecessors, the 1993 Round Kiwi will be printed by the intaglio process, in which the image is hand-engraved onto a master plate (the plates from the previous two issues will be employed this time as well). Used for stamps and banknotes in the 19th century, intaglio printing produces super-fine detail and sharp lines.
