ROB SUISED
Kapiti Island, off the Wellington west coast, is the first large island to be rid of rats using techniques developed by New Zealand conservation scientists. The extermination of Norway rats and kiore (Pacific rats) was four years in the planning. The experience gained here will now be applied to getting rid of rats from Little Barrier Island, Mayor Island, Campbell Island in the subantarctic, and Rauol Island in the Kermadec group.
