Goal 8 - Banks Peninsula/Te Pātaka o Rākaihautū is effectively free of pest animals.
What does success look like?
At the highest level there is robust scientific evidence of an increased abundance and diversity of indigenous species (Goal 6). Pest animal numbers are reduced to a level which enables indigenous species to survive and increase. Protected forest understoreys flourish and are free from grazing by exotic mammals. The whole community is involved in this work.
