ABOUT
A foundational text in conservation biology, offering a comprehensive assessment of how introduced pests drastically modified New Zealand's unique ecosystem.
New Zealand's native flora and fauna evolved over millions of years in the complete absence of land-dwelling predatory or browsing mammals. The introduction of deer, rabbits, chamois, possums, and goats triggered severe soil erosion, habitat depletion, and the collapse of native bird populations. After three decades of state-sponsored culling, Dr Howard was brought in to independently review the current status of protection forests and evaluate the efficacy of the government's animal control programs.
Illustrated throughout with monochrome images and maps.
