Impact Report

In this future, a rowī sighting is a regular feature of an evening stroll. Towering rātā, tōtara and rimu will bloom and breathe deeply with the seasons, locking away carbon for decades. People will travel from all around the world to hear our forests full of birdsong. Our communities will be sustained and nourished by our vibrant natural world.

Regeneration of entire species and ecosystems takes time, much longer than it does to eliminate introduced predators. It will take years, and careful measurement, to determine the results of predator elimination, as early trends are hard to differentiate from natural fluctuations and coincidences.

However, we are delighted to be seeing early indications of how nature is responding without the constant pressure from introduced predators.
