The Project Island Song StoryBefore people
The islands of the eastern Bay of Islands (Ipipiri) were alive with birdsong.
People and pests arrive
Rats, mice and stoats arrived and found New Zealand birds easy to catch.
2003 Community come together through a shared concern for the islands. Some habitat restoration begins on Waewaetorea Island.
2006 Project Island Song partnership (Patukeha and Ngati Kuta hapu, Guardians of the Bay of Islands and Department of Conservation) is formed and these three partners begin working together to restore Ipipiri (eastern Bay of Islands).
2009 Pest eradication carried out across all islands. Period of pest free status was established.
2012 September - twelve Päteke (Brown Teal) released on Urupukapuka Island.
2014 June - forty-three Toutouwai (North Island Robin) released on Moturua Island.
2015 March and May - forty Tïeke (Saddleback) released on Urupukapuka and Moturua Islands.
May - forty Pöpokotea (Whitehead) and Käkäriki released on Motuarohia Island.
2016-17Toutouwai, Pöpokotea released on Ipipiri islands.
TodayBirdsong is returning to the eastern Bay of Islands – note by note. Island landowners and managers, tangata whenua, community groups, volunteers and government agencies are working together to keep the islands pest-free and restore their ecosystem.

Biosecurity Pest-free islands are wonderful places – full of hope. Without rats, plants will recover providing food for birds. Without rats and stoats, birds will return and these islands of the eastern Bay of Islands (Ipipiri) will sing again.
But Ipipiri is vulnerable; it’s quite possible for rats and stoats to swim there from the mainland.
A trap network, regular inspections by predator dogs and their handlers, and public education, reduces the chances that pests return and, if they do, makes sure they don’t stay.
How can you help?Ipipiri’s future is in your hands. Rats and mice are not fussy, they like clean as well as dirty gear and boats. So, before you leave the mainland:
STOP
CHECK (for pests)
GO (& have fun!)
You can also help by sponsoring a rat-trap on the mainland.
