# One third of the way: the Million Dollar Mouse Campaign to eradicate the mice of Antipodes Island continues its fund-raising efforts

The [Million Dollar Mouse Campaign](http://www.ourfarsouth.org/milliondollarmouse/) to raise sufficient non-governmental funds to eradicate the introduced House Mice *Mus musculus* on New Zealand's Antipodes Island has now passed one-third of its target, with NZ$ 352 658 raised by 11 May (click here).

 The campaign's web site gives information on how donations (both big and small!) can be made to this very worthy cause.
