Zero Invasive Predators Ltd (ZIP) have put together a great resource responding to common misconceptions about predator control to protect pukunui/Southern New Zealand dotterel on Rakiura
With operations underway to protect pukunui/Southern NZ dotterel from extinction and to trial tools and methods for eradicating introduced predators on Rakiura, there’s a lot of action and discussion happening.
Unfortunately, we’re seeing some inaccurate information being circulated online.
In response to the most common misconceptions we’re hearing, we’ve summarised some key facts and the scientific studies to back them up.
We recognise there’s a lot of information to digest, so we encourage you to get in touch if you have any questions or concerns: pukunui@doc.govt.nz
