从拉基乌拉/斯图尔特岛消灭掠食者的工作正在进行中

斯图尔特岛,也被称为拉基乌拉,是大约400人和各种对本土植物和野生动物构成威胁的掠食者的家园。一个名为 “Predator Free Rakiura” 的雄心勃勃的项目正在进行中,旨在保护该岛的本土物种。如果成功,它将成为世界上最大的针对有人居住的岛屿的捕食者根除项目。

该项目始于2019年,并于2021年随着其管理机构Te Puka Rakiura信托基金的成立而获得动力。根据本周进行的一项评估,该目标具有挑战性但可以实现。受托人罗布·菲利普斯解释说,该项目旨在保护岛上的独特物种,例如目前处于危险之中的南方杜特尔。

除小鸟外,其他需要保护的物种还包括南岛鞍背鲸、南方棕色奇异鸟、丑角壁虎和长尾蝙蝠,以及各种动植物。为了实现这一目标,该项目旨在消灭六种物种:负鼠、野猫、刺猬、kiore、挪威老鼠和船鼠。

尽管任务艰巨,但该信托基金的总经理达里乌斯·法根仍然乐观。他列举了惠灵顿的美丽华的例子,那里在人口稠密的地区成功地开展了类似的项目。法根认为,这个目标很艰难,但并非不可能,绝对值得一试。

该项目遭到了当地人的抵制,他们担心使该岛成为无掠食者可能会导致游客人数增加。但是,对该项目的支持仍然强劲。该项目目前的重点是为该计划制定交付计划。明年,该信托基金计划最终确定实施计划,制定生物安全计划并开展研究计划。

到目前为止,该项目已取得重大进展,包括加深对纳吉塔胡人的期望的理解,实施280万美元的研究伙伴关系,对岛上的老鼠进行采样以及调查刺猬。环境保护部是该项目的主要合作伙伴和资助者。随着进展的持续快速推进,该项目将在未来几个月内为南国环境局提供最新情况。
