An
ambitious project to restore nature and sustain jobs in
COVID-hit South Westland represents the biggest step yet on
mainland Aotearoa towards the Predator Free 2050 goal,
Conservation Minister Kiri Allan says.
“Predator
Free South Westland will be an exemplar for how to achieve
predator-free status more widely across the
country.
“The project’s goal is to remove possums,
rats and stoats from a 100,000 hectare area of public and
private land from the mountains to the sea, a massive leap
from the original 12,000 hectare site behind
Whataroa.
“The five-year $45 million project is
being supported by $24 million from DOC.
