Maukahuka Pest Free Auckland Island project overview

An overview of how we're planning to save Auckland Island from introduced pests.

The right infrastructure

Infrastructure on Auckland Island that can be used for the project is limited.

Monitoring to track success

How we will track the impact and success of the project.

Supporting transport and logistics

There are many transportation and logistical problems to overcome to access this remote location.

Zero cats

Further information on saving our island biodiversity from introduced cats.

Zero mice

This project would be the largest attempted removal of mice in the world. The rebound of bird and invertebrate life following the removal of mice from Antipodes Island in 2016 highlights the conservation benefit for the ecosystem.

Zero pigs

Removing pigs from Auckland Island would be one of the largest in scale and complexity, pig removal projects in the world.
