West Coast 1080 operation deemed a success by pest controllers
Possum numbers in the West Coast's Perth River Valley area have potentially reduced from roughly 10,000 to just 30 after a new technique was used in a 1080 operation.
Zero Invasive Predators (ZIP) is in charge of the operation in the Perth River Valley area in South Westland. The operation is halfway through and has involved the deployment of 4 kilograms of 1080 per hectare so far.
In statement, ZIP confirmed two kea had also died as a result of the operation. ZIP said the deaths were anticipated though and would not have a lasting impact on the area's kea population.
