Taxon Plan for Eastern Brown Kiwi (Apteryx Australis Mantelli, Eastern) Taxon Plan for Eastern brown kiwi (Apteryx australis mantelli, Eastern) Strategic plan for the recovery of Eastern brown kiwi for the period 2014 – 2019 and beyond, including key actions required for their recovery. Lead author: Rhys Burns East Coast Bay of Plenty Conservancy Rotorua Version Date: April 2014 DOCDM-1256468 - Eastern NIBK Taxon Plan DRAFT 1 Low res figures 1 Last printed 27/11/2014 4:49:00 p.m. Preface The 2008-2018 Kiwi Recovery Plan (Holzapfel et al. 2008) provides strategic direction, at a national level, to ensure the long term viability of all kiwi taxa1. The Kiwi Recovery Group is responsible for the implementation and review of this national plan. Because the Kiwi Recovery Plan provides general national strategic level advice for many taxa over many regions, it can not practicably spell out management for each individual taxon to the level of detail required to guide work-plans and thus implement successful recovery. This is the role of taxon plans. Taxon plans translate the relevant goals, objectives and actions of the Kiwi Recovery Plan into a local context for individual taxa at a level of detail sufficient to guide operational plans. They are ‘best advice’ for all stakeholders regarding goals, objectives and actions, priorities and opportunities, for the management of individual taxa. As such, taxon plans are key documents for the implementation of the Kiwi Recovery Plan. Although taxon plans are more operationally-focused than the Kiwi Recovery Plan, they do not provide the level of detail of a workplan. Nor do taxon plans provide details of best practice information which is instead provided at a national level by the Kiwi Best Practice Manual (Robertson, et al. 2003). The accountability for each taxon plan rests with a lead Region, in consultation and guidance with the Kiwi Recovery Group. In some cases the implementation and review of taxon plans will be supported by a ‘taxon group’, including, key stakeholders and participants in the recovery of that taxon. Taxon plans have been developed in collaboration with key stakeholders for the taxon, including iwi, landowners, community-led kiwi projects and other conservancies involved in its recovery. Individual taxon plans have been peer- reviewed by the Kiwi Recovery Group to ensure that they fulfil their role as integral parts of the Kiwi Recovery Plan. Taxon plans have a 10 year term (staggered by 1 year from the recovery plan). They receive a progress review annually. 1 Species – a formally described (i.e. published in the scientific literature), base unit of taxonomic rank usually applied to groups of organisms capable of interbreeding and producing fertile off spring. Five species of kiwi are described; North Island brown kiwi, rowi, tokoeka, great spotted and little spotted kiwi. Taxa – Inclusive of any level of taxonomic rank. In this context it includes the five described species and four genetically distinct provenances of kiwi currently recognised but not formally described, within each of the species NI brown (Northland, Coromandel, Eastern and Western) and tokoeka (Haast, Northern and Southern Fiordland and Stewart Island). Taxon – Singular, referring to single taxa. DOCDM-1256468 - Eastern NIBK Taxon Plan DRAFT 1 Low res figures 2 Last printed 27/11/2014 4:49:00 p.m. Table of Contents Preface 2 1. Introduction 7 2.

During the c. 730 years since New Zealand has been settled by people, mammalian predators have invaded many islands and caused local and global extinctions. New Zealand has led international efforts in island restoration. By the late 1980s, translocations of threatened birds to predator-free islands were well under way to safeguard against extinction. Non-native herbivores and predators, such as goats and cats, had been eradicated from some islands. A significant development in island restoration in the mid-1980s was the eradication of rats from small forested islands. This eradication technology has been refined and currently at least 65 islands, including large and remote Campbell (11 216 ha) and Raoul (2938 ha) Islands, have been successfully cleared of rats.

If a gate is open or closed leave it that way. • A farm is the owner’s livelihood and if they say no dogs, then please respect this. • When driving on riverbeds keep to marked tracks or park on the bank and walk to your fishing spot. • Never push in on a pool occupied by another angler. If you are in any doubt have a chat and work out who goes where. • However, if agreed to share the pool then always enter behind any angler already there. • Move upstream or downstream with every few casts (unless you are alone).

  • 3671-The Neotectonics of the Ruahine and Mohaka Faults, Between The
    S&G 3671 FINAL PROGRESS REPORT Submitted to EARTHQUAKE AND WAR DAMAGE COMMISSION on the project 'THE NEOTECTONICS OF THE RUAHINE AND MOHAKA FAULTS, BETWEEN THE MANAWATU GORGE AND PUKETITIRI' December 1995 Principal Investigators Associate Professor V E Neall and Ms J A Hanson Department of Soil Science, Massey University, Private Bag 11 222, Palmerston North -- 0.-------------------1.. ABSTRACT New Zealand lies across the active IndoAustralian-Pacific plate boundary. Volcanic activity and earthquakes are a direct result of interaction between these two plates. The Wellington and Ruahine Faults are major strike-slip faults that have formed due to this interaction. These faults move sideways in a horizontal motion so that the area west of, and including the Central Ranges is moving northward while the East Coast of the southern North Island is moving southward. If earthquake activity is averaged out on a yearly basis, these two sections of the North Island move past each other at a rate of 5 to 7 mm (for the Wellington area) and up to 15 mm per year for the Dannevirke area. These rates of motion are high by world standards. The purpose of this study was to establish a record of past earthquake events which would allow future estimates of fault behaviour to be made in the region between the Manawatu Gorge and the Napier-Taupo highway. Trenches have been excavated through these faults in mainly swampy environments. Within these trenches are layers of earthquake debris, deformation and layers of peat. The layers of peat have been radiocarbon dated to give the approximate ages of the underlying and overlying earthquake debris.
