Subject: Official Information request - Were Tangata Whenua Flown into a 1080'd area and shown silent Ngahere?

Dear Department of Conservation,
can you please provide a map of the area in the Waingakia and any other areas of the Raukumara that have been poisoned with 1080, (doc employee Graeme Atkins has stated publicly this was in the 1990s and covered 9000hecs.) Before sending the map please mark the campsite where the Tangata Whenua were recently flown into the Waingakia to show them the devastation you think was caused by possums and rats which you have not monitored. Please also outline on the same map the range of the wild cattle which were farmed in the Raukumara Conservation area for many decades and the names of the people or organisations who were farming these animals in the Ngahere.

Thank You,

T. Benseman
