I found this. Mainly posting it because I like the moa skeleton walking backwards and forwards across the top:
http://www.archaeology.org/online/features/moa/However Jared Diamond's comments are worth quoting:
"Is archaeology a useless discipline, irrelevant to the present, and deserving of the late Senator William Proxmire's Golden Fleece Award for wasted research money? Think of all those long-lived plants and animals still being harvested today at unsustainable rates. As Santayana said, those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it. Then, there were no more moas; soon, there will be no more Chilean sea bass, Atlantic swordfish, and tuna. I wonder what the Maori who killed the last moa said. Perhaps the Polynesian equivalent of 'Your ecological models are untested, so conservation measures would be premature'? No, he probably just said, 'Jobs, not birds,' as he delivered the fatal blow."
