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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIllustrated throughout with monochrome images and maps.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONDITION\u003cbr\u003eExcellent with wear on covers and pages edges, inscription, pages clean, binding intact. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIMAGES\u003cbr\u003eAre of the actual item and depict all need to know detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eREMARKS\u003cbr\u003eScarce\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Unicorn Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55452838691108,"sku":"A5L\/2606\/U329","price":47.95,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1013\/1901\/6740\/files\/3917756376209570536.png?v=1790069251","url":"https:\/\/unicornbooks.co.nz\/products\/control-of-introduced-mammals-in-new-zealand-by-walter-e-howard","provider":"Unicorn Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
