No take / No modify. Case study: Abel Tasman National Park. Restoration: next step in the evolution of managing our marine and coastal resources…. Restoration often starts with islands: In this case study we will look at Adele Island in the Abel Tasman National Park (ATNP) pictured above and the nearby coastal environment. How does restoration differ from protection (via no take / no modify)? Abel Tasman Birdsong Trust. What is the problem with plants like these? Hakea is a particularly nasty pest, what ...

Tuesday, August 11, 2009. The Problem with mice. This came through an email list I monitor, from Elton Smith, Conservation Manager of Orokonui Eco-Sanctuary. The Problem with Mice. There is no best practice or standard operating procedure to eradicate or control mice. DoC does not intend to write a best practice. There is simply not enough data available. There is no way to predict the success or failure of mice eradications at an early stage – mice are almost impossible to detect at low levels. Birding ...

Saturday, July 4, 2009. Just a small snippet. Of a rock wren flitting around in the shadow of the Darrens. The area around Homer Tunnel enroute to Milford Sound is the most well-known spot for viewing rock wren amongst bird enthusiasts. Nothing official is known about how many birds approximately exist in this locality. How viable their population is, or how well they are recruiting. Heres hoping this photographic opportunity exists into the future. There are certainly no guarantees!

Tuesday, September 8, 2009. Gareth Hopkins and Becky Wilson from DOC Fox have been doing some rock wren work in deepest darkest westland. Recently they sent me through a couple of their research reports and some photos. I'll summarise the reports in time, but first a couple of best photos. A correspondent sent me through this extract from Herbert Guthrie Smith, a famous New Zealand naturalist and author of the classic "Tutira". Below is a photo we took of a weka on a recent trip to Kapiti Island.

Tuke: Tuke Established on Secretary Island
http://rockwren.blogspot.com/2013/09/tuke-established-on-secretary-island.html
Wednesday, September 25, 2013. Tuke Established on Secretary Island. In fantastic news, DOC have just put out a press release, stating that rock wren have been successfully established on Secretary Island (New Zealand's 3rd highest island). This is an insurance policy against their further depletion on the mainland. Secretary Island (from Google Earth). The full press release follows. You might ask who cares? Barry Dent from Fauna Recovery New Zealand said “we were delighted to be part of this proj...

Tuesday, August 6, 2013. Tuke teetering on the Mainland. The headline, borrowed from the Newsletter of Fauna Recovery New Zealand. Is alarmist perhaps but, who knows. The evidence of stoat predation in the Darrans is certainly bad news. Here is a Youtube clip produced by Forest and Bird's Sue Maturin, with graphic footage of stoat predation on Rock wren, and the obvious pain in the scientists eyes. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
