2025年蜂巢种子大量下降将增加害虫, 威胁新西兰鸟类, 引发大规模1 080次毒害行动。 A massive beech seed fall in 2025 will boost pests threatening New Zealand’s birds, prompting large-scale 1080 poison operations.

预计到 2025 年，新西兰南岛西部和南部将出现一座大型山毛榉桅杆，这是七年来最大的一次，引发啮齿动物和白鼬数量激增，威胁着本地鸟类和野生动物。 A major beech mast is expected across western and southern New Zealand’s South Island in 2025, the largest in seven years, triggering a surge in rodent and stoat populations that threaten native birds and wildlife. 养护部将在650 000公顷的土地上进行大规模空中1080次行动,以遏制种子下降前后的虫害,并计划于2026-27年进行后续治疗。 The Department of Conservation will conduct large-scale aerial 1080 operations across 650,000 hectares to suppress pests before and after seed fall, with follow-up treatments planned for 2026–27. 虽然这一事件暂时使一些本地鸟类受益,但专家警告说,在没有持续控制掠食动物的情况下,会发生长期的生态损害。 While the event benefits some native birds temporarily, experts warn of long-term ecological damage without sustained predator control. 长期努力,包括在南韦斯特兰等地区消灭害虫,旨在减少对被动管理的依赖和保护生物多样性。 Long-term efforts, including pest elimination in areas like South Westland, aim to reduce reliance on reactive management and protect biodiversity.
