Abstract: | Acclimatisation Societies have been responsible for most of the exotic species entering the native flora and fauna of New Zealand. The development of these Societies is traced and the influence of their past activities on wildlife establishment and maintenance is demonstrated. An examination of the present role of the Societies within the evolving pattern of wildlife management in New Zealand reveals them as important environmental pressure groups at both local and national level. |
