The Remove and Protect approach, being developed by Zero Invasive Predators (ZIP) for the complete removal of possums, rats and stoats from mainland New Zealand , includes an automated lure dispenser, innovative rat and stoat trap, electronic transmitter, LoRa-Iridium satellite box and webserver for handling data from remote trapping networks.
These tools are already being trialled in the regional projects supported by Predator Free 2050 Limited, and the funding will enable the production and supply of products to projects from early-to-mid 2020.
