1080 The Facts

I’m aware this is an emotive topic for many people, however I’ve lived and worked in the West Matukituki Valley in Mt Aspiring National Park where it’s been applied and I’ve witnessed first hand the benefits. For the moment it’s the only tool NZ has [followed up with intense trapping] for it’s very unique native bird/predator relationship. If it’s not used then within a decade or to we’ll lose species we love. My hope is that sooner rather than later new technologies will be come into use.

To encourage up-to-date discussion based on science I’ve linked this page via FaceBook to the “1080 The Facts” site, funded and supported by the NZ Federated Farmers and Forest and Bird
