Risk of bird monitoring leading to increased predation

T. Benseman made this Official Information request to Department of Conservation

The request was partially successful.

From: T. Benseman

Dear Department of Conservation,

Please provide a copy of any studies you have done on the increased risk your workers pose to our native creatures by standing in the entrances of their burrows/nests where scent is likely very high, then traipsing this scent over long distances, thus increasing the likelihood of interdiction by predators, which are then able to locate nests and kill the occupants.

Thanks,

T. Benseman
