Brad Windust

Brad Windust is a passionate conservationist and advocate for environmental protection in New Zealand. Recently, he has been vocal about the urgent need for a more robust response from Biosecurity New Zealand regarding the invasion of yellow-legged hornets, which pose a significant threat to the honeybee population and, subsequently, the agriculture sector. Windust emphasizes the importance of immediate and comprehensive action, criticizing the reliance on public involvement and pamphlet distribution, arguing for more proactive measures, including training detection dogs and deploying bait stations. His advocacy reflects a deep concern for the ecological balance and the impact of invasive species on native wildlife and agricultural productivity.
