| Summary: | Recovery options are suggested for two endangered endemic species of waterfowl: the Auckland Island and Campbell Island teals. The distribution of both species is presumed to have been significantly reduced since the introduction of predators and competitors to each island group. The recommended recovery options for Campbell Island teal will, when achieved, establish at least three populations of this species compared to the one population at present and will advance the prospects of returning it to Campbell Island in the future. The recovery strategy outlined for Auckland Island teal will maintain the present situation until management techniques allow for their return to the whole of their former range.
