The
restoration
of
wildlife
back
to
the
Pukaha
Mount
Bruce
forest
is
only
possible
with
the
permanent
eradication
of
animal
pests
from
the
forest
or
ongoing
control
at
very
low
levels.
At
Pukaha
Mount
Bruce,
the
wildlife
will
be
protected
by
the
ongoing
control
of
pests
using
ground
control
techniques.
Since
2000
the
Pukaha
pest
control
team
has
reduced
the
levels
of
pests
to
very
low
levels,
allowing
the
reintroduction
of
kiwi,
kokako
and
survival
of
the
kaka
reintroduced
into
the
forest
eight
years
ago.
