Non-native predators and grazers pose a significant threat to Ascension’s biodiversity. Current control efforts suppress rodent populations, but significant impacts remain. This project will draw on new techniques and expertise developed in New Zealand, the global leaders in introduced predator control. Consultants will assess the feasibility of eradicating non-native species from Ascension or alternatively recommended improved methods for adaptive control. The result will be Ascension adopting international best practice and reducing the impact of non-natives to the maximum extent possible.
