The Department of Conservation's (DoC) latest plan to control Himalayan tahr numbers will give hunters an increased role in managing the animals.
Tahr were introduced to New Zealand more than a century ago for sport and since then numbers have grown considerably, with 35,000 estimated to be in the Southern Alps last year. 
The animals have no natural predators here so their population can increase without regular control, with large groups causing damage to plants that provide important food and shelter for native species.
