flag Federated Farmers launched a holiday-themed campaign to urge New Zealand to adopt a national strategy against invasive pests causing widespread environmental and economic damage.

flag Federated Farmers in New Zealand has launched “The Twelve Pests of Christmas,” a campaign using a festive twist on the classic song to highlight the growing damage caused by invasive species like possums, feral pigs, deer, and wilding pines. flag The initiative, featuring a digital billboard near Parliament, aims to raise awareness about the economic and environmental harm pests inflict on farms, forests, and native wildlife. flag Farmers report losses from destroyed pasture and injured livestock, while current control efforts are criticized as underfunded and fragmented. flag The group is urging the government to adopt a unified national strategy with stronger coordination, leadership, and funding to address the escalating crisis.
