Summary, Etc. Note: |
Subject: Provides an overview of pest animal problems in Australia and promotes the use of scientifically based strategic management that is humane, cost-effective and integrated with ecologically sustainable land management. The Bureau of Resource Sciences recently reviewed pest animal management in Australia and overseas together with State and Territory pest management agencies, CSIRO, Environment Australia and representative community groups including the National Farmers' Federation, the Australian Conservation Foundation and the National Consultative Committee on Animal Welfare. The result was a series of guidelines which outlined a revised, strategic approach to the management of particular pest animals, including feral horses, rabbits, foxes, feral goats, feral pigs and rodents. This book draws on these guidelines and other sources. |
