More trees planted will boost NZ falcon's chances of survivalCompanies recognise how important native falcons are in New Zealand's forests. In Kaingaroa, Horikoshi looked at how falcons coped with changes of forest structure, and the impacts of 1080 poison. Horikoshi said both studies showed Kaingaroa falcons preferred to live in mature forests with open habitat nearby, and this determined their home range. With increased logging, there were more open areas, and falcons now need a greater home range than before. Timberlands forest risk manager Colin Maunder said more and more forestry companies have to show they are responsible managers, or else they will face barriers in selling their products.
