From Afternoons, 1:20 pm on 31 March 2022

Predator Free 2050 recently announced a huge funding package - $6.7 million - that would be dispersed among six research projects helping to cleanse Aotearoa of invasive predators.

They join nine existing projects that are researching groundbreaking advancements to ultimately rid the country of predators completely by 2050.

One of the recently funded projects focusses on trying to control stoat breeding.

Landcare Research wildlife ecologist Andrew Veale talks to Jesse about their work.
