The economics of Canada goose management in New Zealand : A preliminary analysis
In some areas the numbers of Canada Geese are imposing costs on runholders and farmers. An attempt was made to quantify this cost and identify the beneficiaries of any reduction in numbers. Two methods of quantifying costs were used. The first was from personal interviews with farmers and runholders...
