" When Steve Collins began working as a shooter, killing and capturing deer from helicopters, and later training as a pilot, he had no idea those skills would lead to a part in the largest, most ambitious ecosystem restoration project in the world.

As helicopter operations manager and chief pilot, Steve was part of a team of experienced New Zealand pilots and shooters who, in 2002, went to Galapagos to exterminate goats decimating the islands' ecosystems. 'We killed more than 250,000 goats and more than 1000 donkeys. I'm not really into killing on that scale, but in this case it was essential,” says Steve, who tells the stories of his time on Galapagos in his book ‘Steve Collins Hunter Pilot – New Zealand – Galapagos Islands'. In 38 years of flying helicopters, Steve clocked up more than 15,500 hours, in deer shooting and recovery and as a tourist operator in New Zealand."
