Stoat hunt shuts down
After an exhaustive effort over the
last six weeks, Auckland Council and the Department of
Conservation (DOC) have signed off on a collaborative
biosecurity response following an unconfirmed sighting of a
pair of stoats in the Medlands beach area early in
January.
A full-scale biosecurity operation was employed
using a team of pest detection dogs, tracking tunnels,
traps, lures and trail cameras.
“It was a really good
effort on behalf of the two agencies involved. There are a
number of different endangered species on the island, so it
is vital we stay on top of any pests that may make their way
here,” says Great Barrier Local Board chair Izzy
Fordham.
