A reminder of the sort of people trying to stop control of feral horses in Kosciuszko NP. When the NSW Supreme Court found aerial shooting is done professionally & humanely, the response from some was to say "shoot the judge". There's no place for disgusting attacks like this.

So, we finally decided it was well overdue to have a National Feral Cat & Fox Management Coordination account @nfcfmc Please follow and share if you are interested in #feralcat & #fox research & management. Also, keep an eye out, for the launch of the NFCFMC Website on 7th sept.

A big thank you to @MurrayWatt for your constructive engagement on enviro biosecurity & invasives issues. Recent changes in @DAFFgov leadership give us confidence enviro biosecurity is being given greater focus & we're eager to see this momentum continue under @JulieCollinsMP

It’s been a pleasure working with the people in @DAFFgov & @nemagovau as well as some incredible stakeholders. The future of these sectors is in safe hands with @JulieCollinsMP, @jennymcallister & @AnthonyChisholm as the new Ag & EM team. I congratulate them on their new roles.

🧵6. The @ISCAustralia have made 12 recommendations to @AlboMP, @tanya_plibersek & new Ag Minister @JulieCollinsMP which we are hoping to see urgent action & funding for. Remember this bird flu could lead to extinctions & bird deaths on the scale of the black summer bushfires.

🧵3. But while Australia faces a potential wildlife massacre, we aren't properly prepared. There are hardly any local or species level plans to reduce deaths & stop extinctions. Where are the detailed plans for sea lions on Kangaroo Island, or birds in Kakadu? Not yet developed.


Invasive Species Council Reposted

⚠ Distressing but don't look away⚠️ These are sea lions dying from the deadly H5 bird flu in Chile. This could happen on Aussie beaches soon, but the Aus Govt isn't prepared. Last year >30k South American sea lions died this way. There are only ~12k sea lions in Australia. 🧵👇


Good news: The WA Govt commit to a cane toad containment zone to protect the Pilbara. The unique landscape makes it possible with narrow geography, few waterways & natural barriers like the Great Sandy Desert. Success will depend on comprehensive, ongoing funding @RogerCookMLA

Australia's a lot quieter than it used to be. Feral & roaming pet cats have had a HUGE impact on our native wildlife, helping to hunt 27 of our native animals to extinction. We’ll never again see the Desert Bandicoot or Paradise Parrot. They’re gone: invasives.org.au/blog/meet-the-…
