Possums were first introduced in New Zealand from Australia in 1837 to establish a fur trade. Possums have thick tail and a thick body. Possums are a wide-range across most of New Zealand. The possums are on of the greatest threat to our natural environment.

THE THREAT
Possums have a significant impact on many of New Zealand’s natural ecosystems. The growth and life-cycle of a tree or plant is significantly affected when all parts of it are eaten. Possums also have favourite food such as rātā or kamahi trees, leading to an even greater impact on these species. In 1993, possums were filmed eating kōkako bird eggs and that's why it’s a threat to New Zealand. They eat weta and our significant predictor of New Zealand land the Kauri Snail. Stoats and possums are eating kea.

DOC WORK

So How can we decrease pest all around New Zealand.

One way to do that by using Cyanide and Lua. The lua is food and Cyanide is a poison liquid that kills the pest in seconds. So that’s one way for D.O.C to get rid of pest so we can have our native birds back in New Zealand.
A second way to decrease pest from NZ is using 1080 everywhere so it drops from a helicopter into the bush and kills the pest and some wild animals such as Wild Pigs and Wild Cows.
The final way to reduce pest is probably traps, traps can kill them and not make them run away before you get to them. Get the traps like the bear traps with claws. Traps are cool but the possums can run away if there tails get trap because it’s so easy to get away.

In conclusion pest are a threat to New Zealand and the whole world. Pest are going to be the biggest thing for our whole environment. Do we want pest to take over our forest and our land. No! It’s time to get rid of pest before it takes over the whole world. It’s time to kill all pest to the forest and get our native birds and trees back and growing for generation for the future.
