Conduct a coordinated and ongoing program of feral animal control across all land tenures.
Why it is important?
The environmental and economic impact of feral animals has a significant effect on local communities and ecosystems. Consistent and coordinated control of feral animals is required to minimise these impacts.
Examples of Local Action
- Use fire as a tool to remove harbourage areas for feral animals.
- Maintain support for ongoing community feral pig management programs.
