Ferreting out the Ferrets
Ferrets are one of the biggest threats to our native species. They predate on eggs, young chicks and adult birds, kiwi are especially at risk as they cannot fly.
Control of ferrets through trapping is essential to prevent decline in native populations.
John Bissell from Backblocks Environmental and national Predator Control Advisor at Save the Kiwi has released two articles on ferrets.
