Kiwi Coast

Pest Control Results

Kiwi Coast focuses on enabling effective hapū and community-led pest control – building skills, linking projects and assisting with regional monitoring and data collation to demonstrate the results achieved.

For the past 11 years Kiwi Coast has collated annual trap catch data from all the projects involved to demonstrate the collective impact being achieved across Northland.

Collective Results

Thousands of animal pests are removed from the Kiwi Coast every year by all the groups and project involved making our forests healthier and our native wildlife safer. Unlike other parts of New Zealand, kiwi are on the increase on the Kiwi Coast thanks to the hard work of everyone involved.

Trap catch data collated across all the groups and projects show that  846,219 animal pests have been removed from the Kiwi Coast between 2013 – 2023.

In 2023 alone, 136,646 animal pests were cleared from Northland – that’s around 2,600 pests every week!
