A12 goodnature Possum Automatic Humane Trap attached to a Black Beech trunk (Nothofagus (Fuscospora) solandri var solandri), Horopito, Manawatu Manganui, North Island, New Zealand
The Australian Brushtail Possum (Trichosurus vulpecula) was introduced to New Zealand in 1837 for its fur. It has since become the country's most damaging animal pest, wreaking havoc on native forests and wildlife, eating leaves, flowers, leaf buds, fruit, eggs, birds, insects and snails. Numbers reached their highest point in the 1980s when there were 50-70 million possums in New Zealand. Now possums are being controlled, often using carbon dioxide powered captive bolt humane traps such as this one. Some islands are now predator-free, and form a invaluable sanctuary for New Zealand's threatened indigenous wildlife.
