Predator Free 2050 is an ambitious goal to rid New Zealand of the most damaging introduced predators that threaten our nation's natural taonga, our economy and primary sector. Ridding New Zealand of possums, rats and stoats by 2050 is a New Zealand-wide goal. It will require new techniques and a co-ordinated team effort across communities, iwi, and the public and private sectors. Predator Free 2050 will deliver huge benefits across New Zealand - for the social and cultural links with our environment, for our regional economies through primary industries and tourism and for our threatened native species. DOC is seeking proposals from developers of tools to control or eradicate possums, rats or stoats.
