Taranaki s predator eradication programme paying off in petrels

At this time of year the birds pair up and prepare burrows to lay eggs. “To see so many around now is certainly a good indication they are either breeding here, or trying to,” he said. The birds, which mate for life, are vulnerable to stoats due to their slow and clumsy behaviour when on the ground and nesting in burrows. Introduced predators are one of the main reasons the petrels have become so rare on New Zealand’s mainland, and the reason main breeding colonies remain on predator-free offshore islands. The only other mainland colony in Taranaki is protected by a predator-proof fence at Rapanui, near Tongaporutu, in North Taranaki, Shanley said.

Release of kiwi marks conservation milestone for Te Papakura o Taranaki

Photo: RNZ / Robin Martin The release is a milestone in a battle against predators on Kaitake being waged - for the most part - by a small army of volunteers. Kaitake, at 680 metres, is the oldest of the three volcanic cones in Te Papakura o Taranaki. It forms the north-western boundary of the national park and its sun-loving semi-coastal forest reaches to the outskirts of the seaside settlement of Oakura.
