labrador n In recent years conservation measures have done much to help preserve the wild life of Labrador. However, before the coming of these necessary measures, several important species of birds on these northern shores had become extinct. The two most important of these were the great auk and the Labrador curlew. The great auk, in size larger than a goose, was a true native of the northern waters, and the penguin is its relative in the south. . a century ago thousands of these [curlew] were found all along the Labrador coast.
