Our Changing World – Predator lure research

Katy Gosset speaks to a PhD student who is designing new tech to catch predato,rs with the hope of returning bird song to the bush.

The battle to save our native birds is heating up with Predator Free 2050 spending $2.4m to enlist fresh scientific talent to the cause.

Department of Conservation figures show 4000 native species are currently under threat, with about a quarter of them in serious danger of extinction.

Predator Free 2050 has now funded six young scientists to come up with new solutions to the problem.

Katy Gosset meets one University of Canterbury student whose intelligent lure system will make it easier to trap predators.
