The science behind managing feral animals (Part 3) ft. Stu Barker and Brett Ottley, Wild Science
Description
This episode is the final part in a 3 part series about principals of feral animal management in northern Australia.
My name is Steph Coombes, and in this 3 part series, I’m joined by Brett Ottley and Stu Barker, the team behind Wildscience - a company which uses science and on the ground experience for wildlife and feral animal management.
In parts 1 and 2 we explored what a feral animal is, how they came to be in Australia, how their populations have thrived and how the population ecology of feral animals differs from domestic animals.
In this episode, we discuss why feral animal population management differs from domestic animal management, what options landholders have, and the important role that science plays in designing effective management plans.
This episode is supported by the Australian Government's National Landcare Program.
