Yeah I think "expects" was the wrong word here. We are not on track for doing it within 100 years let alone 27.
Yeah. They'll eliminate all the rats til the next cargo ship arrives.
We won't eliminate them for even a second. The government doesn't fund its conservation department enough to even eradicate all the possums (which don't arrive in cargo) let alone the rats.
New Zealand is 268,021 square kilometres (103,500 miles), the rats are all through it including the parts that are inaccessible to humans.
It's nice that they are at least trying in some places, like in the article.
