U.S. EXPERT INVITED
Animals Causing Serious Erosion
( N.Z. Press Association)
WELLINGTON, Feb. 28.
An American specialist, Dr. W. E. Howard, is to visit New Zealand in June to study the various methods of noxious animal control. Dr. Howard, a professor of vertebrate ecology at the University of California, spent nine months in New Zealand in 1957 to examine the rabbit problem and control methods. His report was published by the D.S.I.R. under the title "The Rabbit in N.Z.”
A spokesman of the D.5.1.R., which with the Forest Service jointly invited Dr. Howard said that as work progresses on the study of protection forests in New Zealand, it is becoming more and more evident that wild animals are already contributing to serioui-aecston in these areas,-and that under some conditions they may be causing irreversible charges.
