Are you being impacted by feral pigs?
Do you know of any feral pig control activities and programs in your area?

Did you answer Yes?

Well the National Feral Pig Action Plan (NFPAP) team want to hear from you:

A national study delivered through the @TSR_Hub has found that diseases carried by #feralcats are having a $12 million impact on Australian agriculture each year with the #sheepindustry the worst impacted. @ANUmedia @UQ_News

Important #biosecurity work on #feral #pigs in northern Australia show fascinating disruption of ranging and territorial behaviour resulting in a vacuum effect. This research @CDUni has far reaching implications for future control programs for this invasive pest. #AWMS2020

Wow! This looks very official. 😆@DrChannon @GroupMIG @MJ_donotreply

New episode of Paddock Chat out now on the threat of feral pigs in our region and how to halt these hogs!

Defining your #feralpig problem can be difficult, however it is essential to know exactly what the plan is seeking to address so that appropriate management can be carried out efficiently and effectively.

[West Midlands Group @WMG_WA]

Feral pigs cost the agricultural industry over $100 million each year with reports of sightings and damage increasing across the Midlands region. Hear from @DPIRDWA's @FeralTwit and @midlands_group @OCallaghanChris on the problem and the solution!

I wouldn't go quite go so far as to use the term "star", but I certainly don't embarrass myself. Penty of good info covered in this podcast if I do say so myself! 😆

[Reclaim Kosci @ReclaimKosci]

If Australia cannot rehome thousands of "retired" thoroughbred racehorses each year, what chance do we have of solving Kosci’s feral horse problem through trap & removal? The sad reality is the supply of horses - feral or domestic - exceed the demand. Alone, it isn’t a solution.

@westauscanids They do the aloof regal attitude so well... 😆

Today’s guessing game: who can you trust to protect our native animals?

This is bollocks, and the FPC knows it.
Sandalwood is not “thriving” in remote and arid Western Australia.
It is continuing to die-out and not regenerate under increasingly arid conditions.
It is going ‘Extinct in the Wild”.

Interesting findings from one of the @CSIRO leads of the National Rabbit Biocontrol Monitoring Program - incidence of virus high in WA region

Please, just don’t.

Another interesting article adding to the growing number of science-based papers demonstrating no evidence that #dingoes suppress #feralcats @MJ_donotreply @CentreInvasives @InvasionEcology @RowdyBengsen @DingoResearch @nbg_eo @WMG_WA @NACC_NRM @AWMSociety

'Landscape crushed by the weight of feral animals' - How can we allow this to happen?

[Reclaim Kosci @ReclaimKosci]

Are horses unique to the Australian Alps? Nope. In NSW, they’re leaving their mark (heavy, muddy ones) across at least 11 National Parks and conservation areas (not to mention state forests and private lands). The invasion is widespread... from a recent trip to Barrington Tops..

[Adam Bandt @AdamBandt]

BREAKING: At estimates, the
@BOM_au confirmed its forecasts that the world is on track for 3.4°C of warming under current climate pledges & that means up to 4.4°C for Australia.
Our last horror summer of bushfires was at ~1° of warming, & we're going to fail our current targets.
