Fascinating but not surprising to learn how complex non-native rodent eradication can be on wet tropical islands. Congrats on your successes and hope for others to follow your lead! We need to stop losing so many species.
👍 Great to hear about eradication efforts & different challenges elsewhere, and also that the Aotearoa experience helps when taken on board 🤗 Certainly PRINCIPLES of eradication might travel, but even in Aotearoa the specific location & unique features require tweaking & extensive pre-planning every time. Removing a species to a "safe" location has been done in Aotearoa - forget which right now, but endangered bird species down south? 👀🤔

Ara's done amazing work and is certainly a leader who others are learning from
