Agreed. Trapping the marginal strip is achieving excellent results. But the initial and important knock down was achieved using 1080. And it will be required again to stop another decline. Reintroduction has nothing to do with survival rates on the rivers, which sadly is now falling again. Until another methodology is found, the cycle of 1080, trapping and 1080 again will need to continue if you want these iconic birds to survive and flourish
