Get involved and support biodiversity
Help Taranaki’s wildlife & native bush – residents are encouraged to support a regional biodiversity project. Taranaki Taku Tūranga - Our Place, Towards a Predator-Free Taranaki is the largest predator project of its kind in the country and possibly the world. It is backed by almost $12 million from the Government and is designed to protect Taranaki wildlife, agriculture and native bush from the threat of predators.
Urban and rural residents are called on to help with the project's ultimate goal; removing stoats, rats, and possums from all land types across the region – urban and farm land, public parks, reserves and Mt Taranaki - by 2050.
The Government is funding $11.7 million over five years through Predator Free 2050 Ltd, the company set up by the Government in 2016 to help New Zealand achieve its predator-fee 2050 goal. The latest technology and trapping techniques will be used as part of the project, with lessons shared with other regions, helping New Zealand achieve its predator-free aspiration.
“This is a massive opportunity for the region and for New Zealand," TRC Chair David MacLeod says.
“It’s about improving our legendary lifestyle and taking Taranaki forward. We need the help of all our residents to protect and enhance birds, lizards, insects, plants and ecosystems," Mr MacLeod says.
