Our work on the Miramar Peninsula marks just the start of a much larger mission. We’ve developed a successful recipe for removing rats and mustelids from an urban environment, and to celebrate this milestone, we have created an easy-to-use, step-by-step blueprint so others can replicate our success.
Importantly, the learning doesn’t stop here. This blueprint reflects what we have learned to date. We know how to effectively remove these target animals, but our next step is to discover how we can do this faster and more economically. We are focused on optimisation, and there will be future versions of this blueprint that incorporate our ongoing discoveries and innovations.
By sharing our learnings and supporting one another, we can collectively work towards Aotearoa’s ambitious goal of becoming predator-free by 2050.
