OUR STORY

Like many islands across the globe, introduced species have severely disrupted the balance of New Zealand’s indigenous ecosystem. Through predation, resource competition and habitat destruction, invasive pests have driven many native species to the brink of extinction.

At Trap and Trigger, we collaborate with international communities and iwi to accurately evaluate and manage invasive populations. Our highly skilled ground and air operators make use of both cutting edge thermal imaging technology and modern methodologies to safeguard our native biodiversity in the most effective and considerate way.
