Predator-Free Futures: Innovation in Action
New Zealand’s native wildlife evolved without mammalian predators, leaving species like kiwi, kākā, and tuatara highly vulnerable. Join this State of the Land seminar from Lincoln University with Tom Agnew from Zero Invasive Pests (ZIP).
This seminar will share lessons learned from on-the-ground projects, insights into the latest tools and techniques, and how ZIP partners with local communities and mana whenua. Tom will also explore what it takes to move from sustained control to full eradication — even in the most complex environments.
Date: Wednesday 17th September 2025.
Time: 4 to 5.30pm.
Location: Mrs O's Cafe (Lincoln University).
Cost: $5.95 per person.
