Introduction of species to Mana Island, Conservation project in Porirua, New Zealand.
The Department of Conservation manages an ecological restoration initiative on Mana Island, introducing native animal and plant species to rebuild natural ecosystems.
The island shifted from a Crown-lease sheep farm established in 1865 to a scientific reserve in 1988 under the Department of Conservation management.
The Friends of Mana Island volunteer organization formed in 1998 supports conservation through active work participation and financial contributions to restoration projects.
The Department of Conservation successfully eliminated the mouse population between 1989 and 1990, creating conditions for the reintroduction of native species.
The seabird restoration program includes concrete decoys to attract gannets, leading to interactions between live birds and artificial models on the island.
