Protecting taonga species Southern Coromandel E Department of Conservation TIAKINA NGA MANU Te Papa Atawbai To protect Coromandel brown kiwi (kiwi parauri), long-tailed bats, Archey's frogs, falcon (karearea) and other taonga species from local extinction, the Department of Conservation (DOC), Hauraki office, intends to carry out predator control over 25,000 hectares of public conservation land in Southern Coromandel. TIAKINA NGA HANU Description of the area The Southern Coromandel contains impacts through predation of native lizards, eggs, birds, insects and seeds. Rats compete with native animals for food and prevent seedling growth. DOC is working with its local Treaty Partner on desired outcomes and is ing the bait evenly increases the likelihood of the majority of rats and possums encountering and consum- ing the bait. extensive forest areas, including These rare coastal forests. Walan areas are valued for their diverse and Southern Forest Method of predator control DOC will apply baits containing biodegrable 1080 over the area shown on the map. A pre-feed of non-toxic baits will occur on the first available fine native flora fauna, scenic Te P consulting with affected stakeholders and the local community. natural landscapes and range of recreation and tourism opportunities. The Southern Coromandel predator control operation will be focused on the Kauaeranga Valley and surrounding Predator control works. The aerial application of 1080 is the effective method currently available to reduce rat, possum and stoat (through secondary poison- ing) populations to low levels. This is especially true in large, rugged and weather window after 1 August 2020 which will prime the rodents to eat the toxic pellets applied afterwards. Non-toxic pre-feed cylindrical pellets are approximately 3cm long and sandy coloured (not dyed). The toxic cereal bait pellets contain 0.15% of 1080, are cylindrical and approximately 3cm long. They are dyed green to deter birds and contain a cinnamon lure to attract rodents. most Public Conservation Land.
