Behind New Zealand’s plan to purge all pests


Still Waters

Recommended Posts

 

They need to watch out, sometimes purging all 'pests' backfires. Think about it, are there other invasive species not seen as pests currently in NZ? There are certainly crops and livestock that have been introduced...how would messing about with the ecosystem affect them? Not saying some invasive species shouldn't go, just that they need to be careful.

The country is gearing up to get rid of rats, possums, stoats and other invasive predators by 2050. Is it a pipe dream?

Pay bounties on them and they'll be gone before you know it. Man has never had a problem making something extinct if he can profit from it.
