  • FIORDLAND NATIONAL PARK 287 ( P311 ) © Lonely Planet Publications Planet Lonely ©
    © Lonely Planet Publications 287 Fiordland National Park Fiordland National Park, the largest slice of the Te Wahipounamu-Southwest New Zealand World Heritage Area, is one of New Zealand’s finest outdoor treasures. At 12,523 sq km, Fiordland is the country’s largest park, and one of the largest in the world. It stretches from Martins Bay in the north to Te Waewae Bay in the south, and is bordered by the Tasman Sea on one side and a series of deep lakes on the other. In between are rugged ranges with sharp granite peaks and narrow valleys, 14 of New Zealand’s most beautiful fiords, and the country’s best collection of waterfalls. The rugged terrain, rainforest-like bush and abundant water have kept progress and people out of much of the park. Fiordland’s fringes are easily visited, but most of the park is impenetrable to all but the hardiest trampers, making it a true wilderness in every sense. The most intimate way to experience Fiordland is on foot. There are more than 500km of tracks, and more than 60 huts scattered along them. The most famous track in New Zealand is the Milford Track. Often labelled the ‘finest walk in the world’, the Milford is almost a pilgrimage to many Kiwis. Right from the beginning the Milford has been a highly regulated and commercial venture, and this has deterred some trampers. However, despite the high costs and the abundance of buildings on the manicured track, it’s still a wonderfully scenic tramp. There are many other tracks in Fiordland.

Box 56, Dunedin New Zealand WLM Report Number: 250 Abundance and dispersal of translocated common skink (Oligosoma polychroma) on Ulva Island A report prepared for the Department of Conservation in association with Otago University’s Diploma of Wildlife Management. Helen Sharpe July 2011 2 Abundance and dispersal of translocated common skink (Oligosoma polychroma) on Ulva Island Contents Summary 2 Introduction 3 Methods 4 Results 8 Discussion 9 Recommendations 13 Acknowledgements 15 References 16 Figures and tables 18 3 Abundance and dispersal of translocated common skink (Oligosoma polychroma) on Ulva Island Summary This report describes a monitoring study carried out in 2011 to investigate the abundance and distribution of common skink (Oligosoma polychroma) on Ulva Island, Southland, New Zealand. Common skinks were introduced to Ulva in 2005 and 2006 for ecosystem restoration, and to investigate effects of weka (Gallirallus australis scotti) predation. Skinks were monitored over 3 non-consecutive days using artificial cover objects. Where possible skinks were caught, weighed, measured and photographed. A total of 18 sightings were made which indicates a substantial drop in both populations but especially at West End Beach. A combination of insufficient habitat and predation/competition by weka are the probable causes. However some uncertainties with monitoring are acknowledged, with regard to sub-optimal weather conditions and ‘settling’ time for new ACOS. Skinks appear not to have dispersed more than 20-30 metres from their release site.

The professionalism and desire she had for me to produce the best work I could is something I deeply appreciate and have used to grow as a scientist. Dr. Schwartz’s geochemical knowledge and patience when I was trying to interpret my data is extremely appreciated. Dr. Klepeis’ ideas prompted me to think about how the Grebe Mylonite Zone compares to other regions which helped me focus on large-scale Fiordland geology. My family for their love and support. It is a blessing to have a mother, stepfather, and sisters who are always there for you. Dr. Peng for saving the SEM, even on the weekends. Dr. Andrew Cross for his help with MTEX code. Dr. Turnbull for her help with interpreting geochemistry data. Dr. Hielscher for his help with MTEX code. All the faculty and staff at CSUN for their help and support. Caroline, Courtney, Luisa, and Solishia for being such amazing research team peers.

We present key issues and questions that can be used to guide research on 18 the conservation of biodiversity on these islands. Four global reviews formed a basis 19 from which we identified research questions of potential relevance to the management 20 of NZ islands. The research questions were assigned in the context of nine objectives 21 proposed as a means of achieving ecological integrity. For each of the nine 22 objectives, we then asked what has been achieved in terms of island research and 23 management, and what needs to be achieved in order to meet long term goals. We 24 used local examples to identify issues and questions specific to islands in the NZ 25 region. Our analyses revealed two research areas in which current understanding is 1 26 poor.
