The New Zealand Storm-petrel saga is a fascinating story. The ultimate heroes are those members of the New Zealand Wildlife Service who in the 1970’s spent a lot of time in poor conditions over many years eliminating cats from Little Barrier Island, thus enabling the species to come back from the brink.

One response to “re. NZ Storm-petrel breeding site discovered.”
G’day All A very good point Neil. And do you remember what happened a month or two after the announcement that all cats had been cleared off Little Barrier? They caught a bloke rowing out to the island with a cat onboard that he intended releasing on the island to help restore the “balance” Some people have funny thinking patterns! Cheers Mike Tarburton
