Why don’t we want to see these animals in the NZ bush?
Possums are huge pests in New Zealand. They are one of the reasons our beloved Kiwis are going nearly extinct. Possums eat the berries necessary for birds. They also destroy our native trees/shrubs. Over 30 million possums live in New Zealand bush. Possums were first shipped over here in 1837 from Australia. These pests much through over 9000t of leaves, berries and fruit every night. In Australia, possums are protected there.
