Poipoia te Kākano
The Kaipara Harbour is the largest estuarine water body in Aotearoa New Zealand and is the largest harbour in the Southern hemisphere. It is of global ecological and biological significance. It is profoundly important to Te Iwi o Ngati Whatua, recreational and commercial users. The catchment and unique estuarine system spans the Auckland and Northland regions, covering 640,000 hectares. The Kaipara is a migratory bird habitat of international significance. Rare species use the harbour for feeding in summer before returning to the northern hemisphere to breed, such as the bar-tailed godwit. Land birds in the area include fairy tern, banded rail, fernbird, and kiwi. The wetland areas provide feeding and roosting grounds for migratory waders, like godwits. The coastal dunes and dune lakes along the western coast provide habitat for banded rail, dotterel, and other species.
The Poipoia te Kākano project is an initiative led by Environs Te Uri o Hau, focused on preserving the Kaipara Harbour's ecological integrity. The project aims to restore the mauri of the catchment by involving Iwi, hapū, central and local government, landowners, and the wider community.
The long-term plan for Poipoia te Kākano is to eradicate possums, stoats, rats, and pigs from 105,000ha on five peninsulas in the Kaipara Moana. The five peninsulas are Hukatere, Okahukura, Puketotara, Pouto (North Head), and Te Korowai o Tonga (South Head) peninsulas. The project then plans to extend into the entire catchment area, which is an additional 543,000ha.
The project completed a feasibility analysis, which indicated Puketotara peninsula should be the first peninsula to begin the possum elimination programme. Korero and engagement with the landowner of Oneriri Station (3,764ha) has been very welcoming and proactive. They have employed a KPF Project Manager to operationalise the huge task ahead.

Isn't this project dead in the water? Released to large public fanfare then just quietly knocked on the head?
Yes, restore and respect the glory of the natural world. Many, many blessings we have received. Let us give back to our planet before it’s too late. Society grows ever greater, when old men plant trees, whose shade they know they shall never sit in.
Which toxin? What about secondary poisoning of kahu and similar?
Approved, humane, species-targeted lures and toxins are used with the devices.
@Predator_Free_2050_Limited could you try to be a bit more vague?
great ideas
A lot of these are now in the field @marosstefak8803 we hope to have some new videos on these soon

I really enjoyed your video. It has such a peaceful and relaxing vibe, beautifully connected to nature. 💚 You got my subscription! 👍
Thanks so much @EmmaNatureEscapes, our projects are really special to us and Chathams is so unique we loved sharing their story.
Awesome stuff! ✊🏻
eco-land developed enviroMate100 at own cost to point of commercialisation , we covered the burden of product development by living without. PF2050 ltd will not engage with a technology that repeately has shown it is 425% more effective than standard kill traps per visit or 625% more efficient across the month. We are financially fully stretched since delivering a container load of enviroMate100 for a promoted landscape trial in 2019. This never happened and the 30k of funding requested to gain the demanded peer reviewed research hasn,t been forth coming. We have offered seevice to 125,000 hectares a year to target possums and rats at a rate of $30 per hectare but have been declined. Why? is this network corruption ?
As superselective rodenticide, norbormide can be useful for rat control in countries, which have native land mammals (including other rodents).
Is there an education arm of predator free nz? I'd love to tour schools and communities educating people on our taonga species, is that a job?
Kia ora Maxwell, apologies it seems that we missed your comment many months ago. Our staff visit schools on a volunteer basis occasionally but there isn't a specific job like that under our remit. The PF New Zealand Trust provides information to schools on the PF movement but again there isn't a specific paid role under our two organisations unfortunately.

Awesome work, Predator Free Wellington!
Nice work
Good Job , you are achieving
Wow. Great great work. Inspirational. Can we get all the Wellington schools in on this?
Fantastic!
It must be possible. Back in the day when their coats fetched big money ermine were extirpated from many regions in the world. Mink which are about like swimming ferrets were also wiped out in many places. Weasels will probably be the biggest challenge. The sea mink is even extinct now. A great idea would be having fur from invasive species become politically correct.
Thank you for doing it.
more more more, please! x
Sound lures hold great promise I reckon.
Possums, rats, stoats and CAT'S. Without controlling the most effective hunting and killing 'machine' on the planet, all other remedies are less effective than they otherwise might be.

Fantastic project!
So happy you are not using 1080! Good on you!
They used twice the amount of recommended 1080 in the Perth Valley.
They are using 1080 and a lot of it...
Awesome work team
What a cool project!
Outstanding work being carried out by such extraordinary people. Thanks for your contribution towards helping make Tai Poutini predator free guys!
At long last Kevin well done and cant wait for your company to produce for public purchase...it cost a fortune to feed such unwanted pets uggg
Will be cool when we can all access it!
So, existing staff can be used for more productive tasks: well done!
Are these able to exclude native birds such as Kaka who would probably stick their noses in?
Hi - the trap is deactivated during daylight hours - there are two reasons for this 1) Human safety with children less likely to be in the bush after dark and 2) to reduce the likelihood of birds such as Kaka that tend to be more active during the day from entering the trap.
Hi we are using your traps. We had trouble today with the recharged batteries not resetting the traps. 3 out of 5. We have 2 new traps on the bench not put out yet. The batteries work fine in them. Is it possible they can get to damp and start to fail.
Kia ora Paul, I would suggest touching base with the Auto Traps team and see what their advice is. You can find them at nzautotraps.com/#contact I'm sure they will be more than happy to chat through with you.
Hi Paul, No the damp does not effect the battery - please get in contact and we will sort the problem. We don't have any contact details for you as you can't have got the traps directly from us so please get in contact.
Just got to get them to stick their heads in there...
It should be possible to keep kea from getting a squirt with both of these. Can you please confirm that this is being investigated. Thanks.
Am I correct in thinking that there is a very real risk to kea with this trap as it appears in the video? If so are there plans to mitigate this risk? It's hard to see how these traps could be used in the South Island mountains otherwise. Cheers
Hi - the trap is deactivated during daylight hours - there are two reasons for this 1) Human safety with children less likely to be in the bush after dark and 2) to reduce the likelihood of birds such as Kaka and Kea that tend to be more active during the day from entering the trap.
@@nzautotraps8757 thats good to know, any stats on kills so far? What has accidentally been killed? Has a trap gone off 100 times yet? Thanks for your work
What a fabulous idea! Well done guys! I moved to rural Taranaki a year ago and have only caught 2 stoats. It was very A rewarding feeling!
Brilliant. Looks like it could be the ultimate answer to NZ's opossum and rat problem, certainly around human-populated areas where servicing the traps is easier. May even supersede 1080 eventually especially if solar-powered. Greg Ross, ex-NZFS opossum-killer
what if stock lick dead carcass
Valid question on secondary kill but What stock would lick a dead possum?
This is the future of trapping and I know with people like you developing these we have a shot at the 2050 target.
