Save a Pohuukawa - and a Kiwi!
By wearing merino-possum gear you'll not only be keeping yourself toasty-warm, you'll be helping safeguard New Zealand's fragile and endangered eco-system from the massive depradations of the introduced possum. A non-native species, the possum has wreaked havoc in New Zealand by destroying the habitat of species unique to New Zealand including the Kiwi. The possum has already caused the extinction of some species, and far more are threatened. The possum has no natural predators in New Zealand, and the abundant food supply has caused them to grow far bigger and breed far faster than they do in their native Australia, where they also have natural predators. As a result, even the WWF sanctions the use of possum fur, as a means to control rapidly increasing numbers of possum (current population estimate 9 million!). Research is being carried out at a fast and furious rate on a biological control for the possum, but it is still several years away, by which time an unknown number of species, possibly including the Kiwi and the Pohutukawa tree may be wiped out. So wear possum and save a Kiwi - or a Pohutukawa!
