Pakiri Predator Control Zone
The Pakiri Predator Control Zone (PPCZ) aims to protect and conserve the high ecological values of Pakiri and Tomarata - Te Arai by managing invasive mammalian predators to very low densities within an identified control zone.
The plan is to create a trap network capable of reducing the likelihood of predators reaching ecologically sensitive areas along the Pakiri coast & Poutawa stream, whist allowing conservation benefits and biodiversity to expand out from these areas into the wider community.
The project is a partnership between private landowners, the Shorebirds Trust and Auckland Council, with support form the Rodney Local Board, and forms part of an overarching project the Conservation Coast. www.conservationcoast.org
