About us

East Taranaki Environment Collective (ETEC) is a community led conservation initiative administered by the East Taranaki Environment Trust. Our office is based in Inglewood, with our project area covering Purangi, Matau and Okoki.

Our mission is to protect the ecosystem and biodiversity in East Taranaki. Our approach to restoring the ecosystem and increasing native biodiversity of our 18,000 hectare community project is through the control of invasive pest species. Our predator work consists of over 1300 DOC200 and 600 DOC250 traps targeting mustelids, and over 1000 resetting traps (A12s and A24s) that target rats and possums. The Trust uses a combination of toxins and kill-traps to reduce the target pest populations. Our pest operations, through our trap network, toxin operations and goat control, provide a place for kiwi, kokako, long-tailed bats and other native species to thrive.

ETEC takes a science-based approach to conservation work, by using several indicator species to demonstrate the effectiveness of our pest control programmes. While pest control is at the core of our work to restore the ecosystem, we monitor kiwi, kokako, and other species to indicate whether we are successfully reducing predation rates on these species.
