Threats

Introduced pests and predators have had a devastating impact on Northland's unique habitat types. Many native and endemic species are now extinct, some have been shifted to predator-free islands for a chance of survival, while others are still trying to hold on in their modified environment.

The following introduced pests pose a particular threat to the recovery and restoration of Trounson Kauri Park's ecosystem:

• Possums
• Rodents
• Mustelids (ferrets, stoats and weasels)
• Cats 
• Dogs
