@futurebird Good thinking. If we could find Māui to help, that might be possible. Legend has it that he's moved the South Island-Te Wai Pounamu about before, using it as a waka for fishing.

This map is pretty accurate. -
This map is pretty accurate.@futurebird Yes, the glacial maxima were cold in NZ. Cold was the normal here for most of the past million years of so, and it’s the conditions most of our native species thrive in. Since we’re isolated, most warm loving species (eg most ants) were lost.
Now that we’re in one of the short warm interglacial periods, and on top of that humans have added lots of fossil fuel powered global warming, NZ is *way* warmer than what most native species like best. As a result, and helped by global trade and tourism, we’re quickly filling up with Australian species, while many of our native species are migrating southwards.
