In New Zealand deer knows no predator. Introduced by the English in the nineteenth century, they proliferate alarmingly in the inaccessible mountains to the south west of the island. Their negative impact on forest regeneration and plant species has led them to be classified as an “invasive species” by the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature).
Hence the slaughter of deer is encouraged and controlled by the government of New Zealand. What looks like a massacre, comes under the guise of managing an economic resource which the sale of deer meat necessarily represents to the kiwi economy.
To be effective the culling is done by helicopter a highly risk business in a region nickname “The southern Alps”
