The great lake pest summit: Anticipated issues and outcomes

Abstract

This “Pest Summit” could not be more timely. Public concern about the ecological, economic, and social impacts of pests such as possums and rabbits have never been higher. A new era of pest management in New Zealand is under way, and the Biosecurity Bill, the Resource Management Act, and the Animal Health Board’s 5-year strategy to reduce bovine Tb are just three of many important elements in it. © 1993 The Royal Society of New Zealand.
