This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Dianne Maxwell to read recent responses and update the status.
From: Dianne Maxwell
Dear Eugenie Sage,
On 12 September 2018, in parliamentary questions, order 21285, put by Dr Shane Reti, you answered that "without predator control kiwi populations decline by 2-3% per year. With aerial 1080 predator control, their numbers increase by 6-10%."
Could I please have all information that is held by DoC for the following:
- Kiwi numbers recorded before and after 1080 aerial drops for every drop carried out in the past 20 years.
- How many and which 1080 aerial drops occurred that had no monitoring take place.
- How many dead kiwi have been recorded, what were they tested for, and what have they died from. Please advise whether they have come from a 1080 area or otherwise.
- Kiwi numbers recorded over a period of time in areas that have had no pest control whatsover.
- Kiwi numbers recorded over a period of time in areas that have had ground pest control only.
- Please state the years the pest control took place in each of the above.
Nga mihi Dianne Maxwell.
