PREDATOR FREE NZ

If we do not take immediate and bold action, New Zealand's wildlife is at a tipping point toward mass extinctions, which will result in our forests containing nothing but rats, stoats, weasels, feral cats and Australian possums instead of our unique birds. Our native wildlife cannot survive alongside these introduced predators. Only 1/8 of the conservation estate/National Parks has any predator 'control', leaving 7 million hectares unprotected... Current methods of control rely mainly on the mass application of tens of thousands of tons of toxins every year which have failed to halt the steep decline of New Zealand's unique native species. The critical state of New Zealand's wildlife is proof that past and current control methods are not working.
