Description

Veterinarian Francesco Formisano tells me about the Pink eye project where, with the help of New Zealand hunters acting as citizen scientists, the prevalence and spread of Infectious Keratoconjunctivitis in New Zealand Tahr herds were studied.


Franco also tells me about hunting roe deer in France, his vet practice and the possibility of more research projects in New Zealand.

Thar are artiodactyl ungulates related to goats and sheep.


The New Zealand Himalayan tahr (Hemitragus jemlahicus) are an introduced species but have now become part of the landscape.
