1080 poison helps New Zealand
New Zealand's native birds and plants are being driven towards extinction by introduced animals. The options for dealing with the problem are limited. 1080 poison is the right technology in the right place at the right time. It is biodegradable, it does not enter the food chain, it does not persist in the environment and it is economical. It is a very good tool for dealing with New Zealand's trio of introduced pests: possums, rats and stoats. Used once every 3 or 4 years it maintains forest health over huge areas and gives native bird species a fighting chance at survival. Anti-1080 activists downplay the carnage pests cause to our birds and they disregard the results that 1080 has achieved over the last 50-years.

Saving NZ birds from slaughter
Native birds in New Zealand are being driven towards extinction by introduced predators. The options for dealing with the problem are very limited. New Zealanders are fighting back by trapping stoats and supporting egg rearing projects like the BNZ Operation Nest Egg programme. In other places biodegradable 1080 poison is used to help protect species kiwi, mohua and whio. Unlike other toxins 1080 poison does not enter the food chain and it does not persist in the environment. It is unmatched for dealing with New Zealand's trio of introduced pests: possums, rats and stoats.

1080 poison bird song
1080 poison is used n NZ to protect birds and keep forest habitats healthy. 1080 is biodegradable and dilutes rapidly in water. It is effective. Critics have run a long-standing campaign in the media claiming that forests fall silent because 1080 has killed all the birds. Journalists publish the claim without checking it and so the myth has perpetuated. Actually NZ's 1080 forests are far from silent.
