摘要: Quail Island (Ōtamahua) is an 85 ha island in Lyttelton Harbour, Banks Peninsula, New Zealand. Since 1997, community volunteers have eradicated rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus), cats (Felis catus), hedgehogs (Erinaceus europaeus), and ship rats (Rattus rattus) from the as preliminary steps towards ecological restoration. At present, a network of traps on adjacent mainland stepping-stone successfully intercepts mustelids other unwanted vertebrate pests en route to Island. However, public use island, its close proximity to, intertidal link with, makes this signifi cant risk reinvasion, particularly by rodents. Lessons learnt 13 years pest work are outlined.
