Establish the necessary preparatory groundwork, such as feasibility studies, operational plans, and management strategies for the restoration of the Aleipata islands by eradicating the Pacific or Polynesian rat (Rattus exulans) and controlling the yellow crazy ant (Anoplolepis gracilipes). Once eradicated, island populations of globally threatened birds and flying foxes will be secured.

Strategic Direction: 1 Prevent, control, and eradicate invasive species in key biodiversity areas
