Aerial 1080 control on Stewart Island drastically reduced deer and pests, aiding endangered birds but halting further operations due to hunting and economic concerns.
Aerial 1080 predator control on Rakiura (Stewart Island) reduced white-tailed deer activity by 75% where repellent was used and 97% in untreated areas, with deer more vulnerable due to small size, low food availability, and limited prior exposure.
The operation, targeting feral cats, rats, and possums, helped the critically endangered pukunui dotterel have a successful breeding season with 37 chicks and 80 eggs.
Concerns arose over impacts on deer, valued for hunting and local economy, prompting the Department of Conservation to pause further operations in 2026 while stakeholders work on balanced conservation methods.
