Supercharging critter control Dr Helen Blackie is leading efforts to supercharge Predator Free 2050 with solutions spanning engineering, creative design, animal behaviour, toxicology and ecology. But it's not easy with an estimated 68 thousand native birds killed by introduced predators every night, costing conservation services...

We've been seeing this news article everywhere, it is such an amazing story! An incredible journey for a small animal over such a vast distance in a frigid and inhospitable environment. It is a testament to the proven design of the KiwiSat transmitter that such small collars are able to work for over a year without missing a beat in such extreme conditions.

Amazing news about the adventures of Amanda, Jojo, and Jim, Pacific Golden Plovers that were tagged in New Zealand with our PinPoint Argos 75 HD!

Jim, JoJo and Amanda, three Pacific Golden Plovers have left New Zealand and are on their way to their breeding grounds in the Arctic! They have our PinPoint Argos 75 HD 😍😍😍

Breaking News from project co-ordinator Jim( the person) Eagles!
"All three of the Kuriri – or Pacific Golden Plovers - we fitted with satellite tags have been successfully tracked across the Pacific and are now well on their way to their breeding grounds in the Arctic.
Amanda and JoJo are both now resting and refuelling in Japan after their record-breaking flights of almost 10,000km from Pūkorokoro Miranda to Japan’s main island of Honshu. Jim, who left a couple of weeks later, has just landed on the island of Guam, in Micronesia, after flying some 7,500km.
Amanda touched down not far from Tokyo on 16 April after an eight-day non-stop flight. JoJo, reached Japan on the 20th after flying at least 9,990km, which is the longest recorded flight for a PGP. Jim finally left on 23 April and seems to have reached Guam on 2 May. It is likely that Amanda and JoJo will stay in Japan for around three weeks, resting and refuelling, before heading for their nesting grounds which are probably be in Alaska. Jim, however, looks to be from Siberia so he will probably continue to follow a different timetable"
What an incredible journey for a bird much smaller than the godwit.
