We provide disease management services to TBfree New Zealand, the statutory management agency charged with the eradication of bovine tuberculosis (TB). Our work helps to control wild animal ‘vectors’ that spread TB, mainly possums.
TB threatens New Zealand's rural economy because of its impact on beef, dairy and venison exports. Read more about TBfree's TB eradication strategy here: |
We provide pest management services to clients including the Department of Conservation (DOC) to support their aim of protecting New Zealand's plant and animal species from predators.
The Department's "Tiakina Nga Manu" programme is one that protects our most vulnerable native species. In some years, widespread forest seeding leads to an increase in rats and stoats, putting iconic and endangered native species at risk. Read more about DOC's Tiakina Nga Manu programme here: |
We provide plant pest management services to various clients to enhance, preserve and protect New Zealand's unique and iconic landforms.
Our landscape and natural environment are under threat from introduced plant species like wilding conifers and other weeds which can suppress the establishment and succession of native plant species, degrade water quality and increase fire risk. Introduced plant species also negatively impact native bird populations due to their effect on habitat. Read more about the management of plant pests here: |
