Community and hunter support will free Aotearoa of invasive browsers to sustain our native wildlife and plants and our diverse native forest, tussocklands, and alpine flora ecosystems.

This will also enhance downstream freshwater and marine ecosystems, immediately reduce flooding, siltation, soil erosion, and timber debris harm to our ecosystems, communities, businesses and infrastructure, while better sustaining river flows during droughts.

It will reduce animal and community greenhouse gas emissions and restore the carbon emissions from past vegetation browsing.

This will also free us of hosts and vectors of diseases that can seriously affect indigenous ecosystems, people and agriculture wellbeing.
