A woman called Stephanie Bowman came down to Newzealand one day (she comes from the U.S.A), and feel in love with the long finned eel, she did some more research on it and was very shocked to know that they were nearly very close to instigation. Us NewZealanders see them nearly everywhere so we just think "oh yeah they are ells" and its no big deal but actually it is a big deal. Stephanie really wanted to do something about it, but she thought she could, I mean she is just a normal person who likes to write and paint and she is a teacher but she used her skills to create a book for kids and sell it, she got a little more popular there, however it still wasn't doing much so she decided to do a kids program so that all of the schools in NewZealand that she goes to can be apart of it. This mite get you ahead a little... http://www.bowmansart.com/eel_conservation/eel_conservation.html

So she came to our school and soon we get to make another peace to add to her artwork of the big long finned eel, so that's going to be quite fun! She tolled this really interesting story that she wrote for little kids but we are year 7's and 8's so she told us in a different way, it was really interesting we found out heaps of new stuff that we didn't know before. After that it makes us more excited to help the eels have a look at her site there are heaps of interesting stuff!!! thanks!
