Chaffinches and willow warblers are probably the most numerous birds in Estonia. Many typical tundra species, like the willow grouse and the black-throated diver, which were characteristic exhibits of Estonian bog wildlife, have disappeared as nesting birds during the last decades. Small islets, however, can really be called bird paradise. Undisturbed by man and protected from most smaller predators by the sea, they are real nesting sanctuaries for a diversity of gulls, terns, ducks and waders. Due to the vast preserved natural landscapes, large raptorial birds, such as the golden eagle and eagle owl have made Estonia their home. Sixty-four species of mammals have been recorded in Estonia, three of them have been introduced: the racoon dog, the American mink and the muskrat. The European beaver, hunted to extinction by 1871, was reintroduced in the 1950s and a vital population of them (17 000) exists once again in Estonia

The wood of eucalyptus is used for making paper, floorboards and furniture. Although Australia is surrounded by water, its fishing resources are limited. They catch shellfish, lobsters, oysters, prawns and scallops, also salmon and tuna. Tourism. Australia has a variety of tourist attractions. They include wildlife sanctuaries, sandy beaches, the Great Barrier Reef, the Australian Alps and much more. Tourism aids the economy. About half of Australia's visitors come from nearby, especially New Zealand, Japan and Southeast Asia. These places are also the ones most visited by Australian tourists. Foreign trade. Farm exports remain vital to the nation's economy. For many years, Great Britain was Australia's chief trading partner. But today, Japan is Australia's biggest customer

The first inhabitants came to the area that now forms present-day Estonia some 11 000 years ago. Estonians were one of the last pagan people in Europe. Estonia was incorporated into Christendom at the beginning of the 13th century, under the pressure of crusaders from Denmark and Northern Germany. Estonians were reduced to the status of peasantry until the 19th century. From 1558 onwards, Estonia became the battleground for the Livonian War involving
