Summary
A gripping new documentary, Stoats Last Stand, reveals how a tiny island community turned the tide against a deadly invasive predator. On Waiheke Island, residents united behind a seven-year mission to eradicate stoats—once thought cute, now proven devastating to native birds. With traps in backyards, volunteer patrols led by retirees like Judy, and cutting-edge tech like AI and thermal imaging, this grassroots effort has slashed stoat numbers to just a handful. It’s a powerful story of collective action, showing how one community’s determination is sparking a wildlife comeback—and proving that when people come together, even the smallest island can become a fortress for nature.
