Biodiversity of New Zealand Will Take Millions of Years to Recover
The arrival of humans in New Zealand, some 700 years ago, triggered a wave of extinction among native bird species. Recent calculations by scientists from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands and Massey University in New Zealand show that it would take at least 50 million years of evolution to restore the biodiversity that has been lost.
