The Otago Regional Pest Management Plan focuses on dealing with harmful pests that impact our environment, economy, and communities. It identifies species like rabbits, wallabies, gorse, and wilding conifers that cause problems on our land. Guided by the Biosecurity Act 1993, the plan works with stakeholders to set rules and controls for managing pests. Through consultation, it aims to protect our region's unique ecosystems and species from the damage caused by these invasive organisms.
