An official information release from Waka Kotahi NZ Transport agency shows 226 pests were trapped between November 2022 and January 2024, with rats, stoats, weasels, hedgehogs, mice, ferrets, possums, and rabbits all making the list. Chair of Greater Wellington, Daran Ponter, says that the news is worrying for conservation efforts like Capital Kiwi and Predator Free Wellington and that current central government budgets are wholly inadequate. conservation transmissiongully transport government regional-council Wed, 03 Apr 2024 00:00:00 GMT https://www.gw.govt.nz/your-region/news/roadkill-and-official-information-release-shows-growing-mustelid-pest-problem-for-region/ Greater Wellington Regional Council 2024-04-03T00:00:00Z -41.1507564 174.8457942 Transmission Gully Motorway, Kenepuru, Porirua, Porirua City, Wellington, 5022, New Zealand https://www.gw.govt.nz/your-region/news/restoration-day-becomes-restoration-week-as-the-wellington-region-celebrates-community-conservation/ Greater Wellington is inviting people to learn about restoration and connect with conservationists for the first ever Restoration Week, from Sunday 21 – Saturday 27 May.
