The Murchison Mountains in Fiordland are historically significant to New Zealand conservation. Work has been carried out in the area since the rediscovery of the takahe by Geoffrey Orbell in 1948. They form a large peninsula on the western side of Lake Te Anau, between the South and Middle Arms of the lake. The area has Specially Protected status due to the presence of the only wild population of takahē in the country. Predator management in the Murchison Mountains consists of intensive stoat trapping. There are approximately 3500 individual stoat trap boxes (with DOC 150 traps) ranging in altitude from Lake Te Anau at 200 metres to 1400 metres in the alpine zone. At 50 000 hectares it is the largest contiguously trapped area in New Zealand spanning forest and alpine areas. This tender is to provide at least three full trap checks per year of this trap network.
