Why are Aotearoa's native lizards so susceptible to introduced predators?
One of the big reasons is that our lizards evolved around predators (birds, tuatara, and other lizards) that use sight to hunt. They rely on their camouflage when they are threatened, which doesn't work as well against introduced predators that rely on smell for hunting. 📷 credit: Hong Yao Lim

The team were kept busy on Waiheke Island this summer as vegetation clearance was required to maintain some critical infrastructure. We were there to check for nesting birds and to supervise the vegetation pruning to search the foliage for native geckos. The geckos were safely relocated to a tree outside of the works footprint. 📷 credit: Hong Yao Lim.
