Thread: The truth is out...

Hi Planenutz, Might be worth another viewing. I've only watched it once myself but my impression was that it was to rid the area of 'cute fury' animals (stoats, cats, hedghogs etc) in the interest of providing a better breeding ground for dotterels , stilts, wrybills and other unique wading birds. Looks pretty straight forward to me and to a large extent a worthwhile portion of that target is with in reach but it would take a shit load more than 4.5 million. I only hope that amount is just a kick off point.

There's 1300 traps in the next system over (Rangitata) which I think have only been in there for two years and I've seen the reduction in predators in that area which is a significant wading bird breeding area already - dosent take much effort to make a difference if the effort is applied intelligently (there's no guarantee of that unfortunately)
