be realised when they are absent or present only in low numbers. Mustelids predate on
fledglings. Research confirms that, in mustelid trapping control areas, the survival rate of
native bird fledglings increases by up to 10 times. In the case of the bellbirds, the
survival rate of fledglings increased from 8% (without trapping) to 80% (with trapping).
Mustelids are also likely to have a similar impact on the survival rates of other native

this report also assigns a rating as to each Company’s environmental and administrative performance during
the period under review. The rating categories are high, good, improvement required and poor for both
environmental and administrative performance. The interpretations for these ratings are found in
Appendix II.
For reference, in the 2021-2022 year, consent holders were found to achieve a high level of environmental
performance and
considered responsible resource utilisation, to move closer to achieving
sustainable development of the region’s resources.
