Manaaki Whenua webinar: Managing New Zealand’s marsupial menace

Presented by Graham Hickling and Bruce Warburton

Manaaki Whenua – Landcare Research.

Wallabies were introduced to New Zealand in the late 19th century  and  now, more than 150 years later, they have spread and increased in numbers to become a major problem impacting on both agricultural and conservation values.

In 2015 the total gross economic cost of wallabies was estimated to be $28 million per annum, and if allowed to spread at their current rate this could grow to nearly $84 million per annum by 2025.

 

Join us to hear Graham Hickling and Bruce Warburton discuss current research projects, focussing on two in detail (wallaby translocations and designing bait stations).
