New Zealand Prime Minister John Key announced the creation of a $ 25 million seed fund Predator Free New Zealand Ltd., plans to eliminate the three animals by 2050 and five species of exotic predators.

新西兰外来鼠害成灾，政府计划2050年彻底杀绝 - 新西兰,老鼠 - IT资讯
IT资讯讯 新西兰和澳洲大陆类似，本地物种中并没有老鼠等动物。然而随着人类活动的加剧，老鼠、负鼠和白鼬等动物也来到了这片无天敌净土，大肆捕杀本地鸟类。新西兰政府下决心剿灭这些外来物种，2050年为最后期限。

了解澳大利亚和新西兰的朋友可能知道，当地物种基本上都是“呆萌系”，很多物种都是看上去毫无攻击性的状态（连蚊子都懒的飞……）。当然，如果你惹到了袋鼠，可能你也不见得打得过它们……但总之这些物种天性并不凶残，而且一些独特鸟类如鹬鸵已经“懒的”失去了飞行能力，这让老鼠等外来物种如入无人之境，能够轻易吃个饱。
如此场景让本地物种非常遭殃，每年大约有2500万本地鸟类死于外来物种之口。于是新西兰总理John Key宣布设立2500万美元的种子基金成立Predator Free New Zealand Ltd.，计划到2050年消灭上述三种动物及其它五种外来捕食者。然而奥克兰大学生物保护学家James Russell却为这项计划泼了冷水，他认为这项计划与人类登上火星的难度毫无差异，根本不是2500万美元能够解决的，要想取得成功需要新的技术，并且需要投入数以十亿美元来执行这项计划。
