Tahr Control Plan

The Tahr Control Plan is a management strategy designed to regulate the populations of Himalayan tahr, an invasive species in New Zealand. It aims to prevent ecological damage by implementing controlled culling and habitat management. The plan balances conservation efforts with the needs of local communities, ensuring that tahr numbers are kept in check to protect native plants and animals. It involves monitoring populations, setting sustainable harvest levels, and using targeted removal methods. Overall, the plan contributes to maintaining healthy ecosystems while considering economic and recreational interests such as hunting.
