Imagine hearing the playful cries of kākā in your garden or being awakened by a rich chorus of birdsong. This is part of the vision to see our city become a sanctuary where native wildlife and people flourish together. Dunedin already has some of the best urban wildlife in the country, but our precious native birds, lizards and plants are threatened by introduced predators.
As the city branch of Predator Free Dunedin, we are helping residents across Dunedin suburbs get involved in backyard trapping by providing traps, training, and support. In parks and public reserves, we are leading predator control with a network of hundreds of traps targeting possums, rats and mustelids.
