ISLAND INVADERS: How invasive predators are changing the face of seabird islands

See the story of seabird islands, their importance, and the invaders that threaten them.

Shot over a period of three years (with much of the footage captured by SEAPRE scientists in the field), ISLAND INVADERS describes:

• The importance of seabird islands

• The impacts of predators on seabirds and their islands

• Predator eradication

• Island recolonization and restoration

• The importance of community involvement to seabird island conservation

Produced by Scientific Outreach Media for the SEAPRE Research Coordination Network with support from the National Science Foundation

This video was produced in 2005 for researchers at the University of Alaska Fairbanks and Landcare Research in New Zealand. It describes the research-in-progress being performed to determine the effects of native seabirds and invasive rats on the plants, seeds, and soils of islands in New Zealand. This outreach video was produced primarily for the benefit of the owners of the islands
