Forest & Bird says ridding Rakiura Stewart Island of introduced predators will be a global game-changer and welcomes the $2.8m research agreement between Manaaki Whenua and Predator Free Rakiura, announced today.
On 13th August, Forest and Bird are joining with Sustainable Coastlines to plant native plants at Kaiapoi Island along the banks of the Waimakariri river. Meet at 9.45am, planting 10-12.30, lunch provided afterwards.
Juliane Mussoi of Auckland University will talk to us about the effects that disturbed sleep can have on birdsong and as a result, on their communication.
