Kauri dieback disease has been found in the Waipoua Forest, home to many impressive and significant kauri including the tourism icon tree Tane Mahuta. The Department of Conservation (DOC) and Iwi Te Roroa work closely to co-manage work programmes in the forest.
Wild pigs are the most prevalent form of disease vectoring in the kauri forests. DOC requires the services of a qualified and experienced team of hunters to conduct the ground hunting of pigs and some associated forest survey work to assess the success of the control programme.
The successful Participant/s will also be required to develop and maintain relationships with the iwi Te Roroa and work with local recreational pig hunting groups to improve their understanding of Kauri dieback.
The required service outcomes are that pig disturbance (pig rooting and hoof marks) are reduced to less than 20% of the level they were at the start of the programme AND a significant number of pigs are killed in the control area. Pig disturbance will be monitored before and at the end of the control activity. DOC will be responsible for the monitoring to ensure consistency and data accuracy, working in conjunction with the Participant.
