Kennedy joins Kathryn to talk predator eradication on Aotea Great Barrier Island. A project led by local Māori on the island called Tū Mai Taonga aims to free the island of ship rats and feral cats, which have taken a heavy toll on the island's fauna. Kennedy spent time with the project team as they prepare to remove rats from two offshore islands and begin cat trapping in the remote, mountainous northern forests of Aotea.
