ActionDescriptionStatus
FormationNew emerging researchers supported in under-represented areas of research critical for New Zealand's Predator Free 2050 goal of eradicating invasive rats, possums, stoats and other mustelids across the country and helping to save the more than 4000 native plants and wildlife that are threatened or at risk of extinction. See attached document for more detail.On-going
Education/Communication/Sensibilisation'Fight for the Wild' television series (2021) co-funded, raising the profile of New Zealand's Predator Free 2050 goal of eradicating invasive rats, possums, stoats and other mustelids across the country and helping to save the more than 4000 native plants and wildlife that are threatened or at risk of extinction.

Activit�s de terrainLarge landscape invasive species elimination projects developed, contributing to New Zealand's Predator Free 2050 goal of eradicating invasive rats, possums, stoats and other mustelids across the country and helping to save the more than 4000 native plants and wildlife that are threatened or at risk of extinction.

Veuillez indiquer quels ont été les résultats obtenus dans le cadre des activités entreprises pour la mise en œuvre de cette Résolution: 
At September 2022: (i) 6 emerging researchers supported, through PhD/postdoctoral funding. (ii) 'Fight for the Wild' awarded BEST FACTUAL SERIES, NZTV AWARDS 2022. (iii) 17 landscape predator elimination projects developed (of which 3 are iwi-led by Māori), in total forecast to cover 756,700ha by June 2024. Many are already achieving and nearing elimination goals and are already recording biodiversity benefits (up to ~50% increases in bird counts since inception in 2017). (iv) PF2050 Limited investments leveraging at least double the resourcing from other sources. (v) 26 new tools and 4 new best-practice guidelines forecast by late 2024. Since 2019, 7 are already being used in landscape projects, including remote-reporting thermal video cameras with onboard AI for predator detection, and new long-life lures and resetting traps. (vi) 42 scientific projects and research studies funded. Since 2017, achievements include better understanding of target species through world first full genome sequencing; 50x increase in small predator detection sensitivity using thermal cameras; a new mainland landscape predator elimination approach; and a world first Data Standard for pest management.
Quelles mesures ont été prises afin de surmonter ces obstacles ?: 
No significant challenges have been encountered - we are fortunate to be working in a very enabling environment.
