Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

NZ announces plan to exterminate introduced predators.

Post by Anchor Moy »

The New Zealand government has announced a project to the rid country of rats and other predators by 2050.

John Key, the Prime Minister, said the country would undertake a “world first” extermination programme aimed at making the introduced species of rats, stoats and possums extinct within 34 years.
He said in a statement: “Our ambition is that by 2050 every single part of New Zealand will be completely free of rats, stoats and possums.

“This is the most ambitious conservation project attempted anywhere in the world, but we believe if we all work together as a country we can achieve it.”

Species introduced to New Zealand kill 25 million native birds a year, including the national bird, the Kiwi, of which 20 die per week, according to the government. It says the estimated financial cost of the species is NZ$3.3bn (£1.76bn) a year...

The very best idea is to pay a bounty for the tails, as the French did in Hanoi

And I hope they include hawks. In the 1950's there was a bounty paid for a pair of hawks feet, I think it was about one shilling. Then someone in the 1980's decided this Australian pest should be protected , and so native bird species like the skylark and thrush disappeared, and the fantail [ piwakawaka ] is very rarely seen now.http://r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=A0SO804g ...

I'm pleased to say I did my bit to help get rid of this pest that also preyed my chickens and turkeys.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.
