The Distribution and Current Status of New Zealand Saddleback Philesturnus Carunculatus
Bird Conservation International (2003) 13:79–95. BirdLife International 2003 DOI: 10.1017/S0959270903003083 Printed in the United Kingdom The distribution and current status of New Zealand Saddleback Philesturnus carunculatus SCOTT HOOSON and IAN G. JAMIESON Department of Zoology, University of Otago, P.O. Box 56, Dunedin, New Zealand Summary This paper reviews and updates the distribution and status of two geographically distinct subspecies of New Zealand Saddleback Philesturnus carunculatus, a New Zealand forest passerine that is highly susceptible to predation by introduced mammals such as stoats and rats. The recovery of the North Island and South Island saddleback populations has been rapid since translocations to offshore islands free of exotic predators began in 1964, when both subspecies were on the brink of extinction. South Island saddlebacks have gone from a remnant population of 36 birds on one island to over 1,200 birds spread among 15 island populations, with the present capacity to increase to a maximum of 2,500 birds. We recommend that South Island saddleback be listed under the IUCN category of Near Threatened, although vigilance on islands for invading predators and their subsequent rapid eradication is still required. North Island saddlebacks have gone from a remnant population of 500 birds on one island to over 6,000 on 12 islands with the capacity to increase to over 19,000 individuals. We recommend that this subspecies be downgraded to the IUCN category of Least Concern. The factors that limited the early recovery of saddlebacks are now of less significance with recent advances in predator eradication techniques allowing translocations to large islands that were formerly unsuitable. -
Mount Ruapehu, New Zealand: Obserations on Its Crater Lake And
MOUNT RUAPEHU, NEW ZEALAND: OBSERVATIONS ON CRATER LAKE 601 MOUNT RUAPEHU, NEW ZEALAND: OBSERVATIONS ON ITS CRATER LAKE AND GLACIERS By N. E. ODELL (Department of Geology, University of Otago, Dunedin, N.Z.) ABSTRACT.Mt. Ruapehu, the highest summit in the North Island of New Zealand, is a semi-dormant volcano, whose crater lake was responsible for the flood that caused the disastrous railway accident on Christmas Eve, '953. Since the last eruption of '945, when mostly ash was ejected, the crater lake that subsequently formed has been contained by a barrier partly composed of lava and partly of neve and ash. It was the breaking through of the latter weaker portion of the dam that was responsible for the flood of mud and boulders which descended via the Whan- gaehu Glacier and struck the railway 25 miles (40 km.) distant. There is nO evidence of eruptive activity having been the cause of the outbreak. During three ascents of the mountain, observations were made of the glaciers, which have been in a state of gradual shrinkage over a number of years. But during the past Summer-a season of excep- tional dryness-the process of ablation and wastage has been greatly accelerated, so that immense areas of rock and ash have freshly emerged, and crevasses and dirt-ridges have taken the place of smooth neve or glacier surfaces. ZUSAMlliIENFASSUNG.Mt. Ruapehu, der hochste Gipfel auf der North Island Neuseelands, ist ein halb schlum- mernder Vulkan, dessen Kr~ter-See fur die Flut verantwortlich war, die das unheilvoIle Eisenbahnungluck am Heilig Abend 1953 verursachte. -

PART ONE This Management Plan
F I S H AND GAME NEW ZEALAND WEST COAST REGION SPORTS FISH AND GAME MANAGEMENT PLAN To manage, maintain and enhance the sports fish and game resource in the recreational interests of anglers and hunters AIRPORT DRIVE PO BOX 179 HOKITIKA 1 2 FOREWORD FROM THE CHAIRMAN I am pleased to present the Sportsfish and Game Management Plan for the West Coast Fish and Game Council. This plan has been prepared in line with the statutory responsibilities of Fish and Game West Coast following extensive consultation with a wide range of stakeholders. It identifies issues and establishes goals, objectives, and implementation methods for all output classes. While it provides an excellent snapshot-in-time of Fish and Game West Coast it should be noted that, as well as ongoing issues, there are likely to be further challenges in the future which will have the potential to impact on angler/hunter opportunities and satisfaction. To this extent, this plan must be seen as a document designed to be capable of addressing changing requirements by way of the annual workplan and in response to ongoing input from anglers and hunters, as well as other users of fish and game habitat. The West Coast Fish and Game Council welcomes such input.
