has anyone heard back from macpac? of note is NZ alpine team mentor Ben Dare who made a cameo in recently released tahr propaganda vid (which i thought was well done). hopefully there is some pressure being applied there.
but, at the end of the day, there needs to be a proper management system set up. it is not sustainable to just lobby DOC every few years when they propose some culling. the wapiti foundation seems to be the shining example that the tahr foundation will need to emulate, otherwise we are just fighting a fight that we will one day lose. the only option is a properly funded tahr foundation which we all pay a subscription to. I would also suggest we are best getting on the front foot with other species too, who will inevitably cross the road into DOCs headlight beams soon enough.
my 2c anyway.
