WHERE Ascension Island
Summary
Rodents pose significant threats to Ascension’s biodiversity, infrastructure and welfare of residents. Eradication is currently unfeasible; however, more effective control efforts and improved technologies may more successfully suppress rodent populations. Building on recommendations from DPL00037, this project will implement new strategies and trial innovative methods in collaboration with other contractors responsible for rodent management at the RAF and USAF bases. Consultants will train staff to apply best practice standards to reduce the impact of rodents to the maximum extent possible.
