The National Environmental Science Programme Threatened Species Recovery Hub, brings together Australia's leading ecologists and environmental managers to carry out research to improve the management of Australia's threatened plants and animals.
We see them where I am. I get worried about all the development threatening them. So many native animals driven to extinction or near extinction by human selfishness
How absolutely awful and shocking! I understood that habitat was getting worse for the frogs, but had no idea that it was that bad! What can we Australian’s do, there must be something? 🙏
Many people don’t seem to care that their cat kills wildlife, in fact, many cat owners will swear THEIR cat never does. When will effectively laws, that are policed, be brought in to contain cats to their property?
As a cat lover, I can also respect the responsibility which has to come in choosing a small tiger to live in the home, and as such none of the 12 cats which have kept me as their warm safe place to be fed, have ever been permitted to keep their fecundity. Whether tom or she, the tame domestic cat lives longer and stays healthier without their gonads. This is a fact, for many reasons. Toms don't wander off and frequently get abscess from fights with other cats for territory (or sex) and she cats can have 2 or 3 litters in a year, which increase in the first at about 4 kittens (which is possible within 6 months of their own birth) and litters tend to increase in number with each queening, and can reach numbers of kittens like 19 (a known maximum). I hold people and their failure to contain and to desex their feline responsibilities as the cause, and IMO it is an unfortunate fact that it is socially unacceptable to desex or to cull them. Which would not solve the problem now that the ungelded horse, so to speak, has got out the gate and is now in the next state. PAPP, retailed with the trade name "Curiosity" to those licensed by varying state regulations and within certain standards to do so. 1080 in Victoria is not permitted for use on free range cats, and PAPP is presented as a little less inhumane than 1080, but nothing on Earth as sentient as a mosquito has a natural death wish, so culling is always at some point too cruel to accept upon yourself or a friend, and doubt captive kill and use of barbitturate "green sleep" has the capacity for the reduction in population of 20 million free range moggies by a half a dozen rangers. Incentive for desexing could be provided by government with fiscal support, and cats are fine kept inside a house or at least within the same property and fenced land, provided they have a place to climb, the attention of their human companions, and a few things to play with. A bored animal of any species will lose the plot or start to wish they were somewhere else, and cats naturally sleep at least 2/3 of a day, on and off, with this time increasing with their age. Kittens are at their most active stage, when a few months old, but still sleep 12 in 24. All cats can be desexed at 6 months to 1 year, and the sooner done the safer and more likely to be at home at home. It might have been a better choice too, NOT to kill off the Dingo, because as top predator it may have controlled both the fox and the cat.
HI .denmark wa australia . am i aloud to set a fish trap . identerfie . and release. over a 48 hour period.... school project to see what is in our catchment.....good work by the way....
Give me back my rifles and let me loose out there and i will shoot feral pigs and cats till my shoulder dislocates. I have lived in the wilderness for many years and have seen the destruction these pests wreak. Twice a year as a teenager we went out and culled these pests, and the feral dogs, rabbits, hares, foxes, goats, ect. Such an opportunity to put idle youth to good use as well as getting a handle on these ferals. Once a fortnight i collect a sand bag full of cane toads drown them, chop off their legs and feed this to my local Crow family, though to be fair they are spoilt and still prefer cooked chicken, but tough titties they have to help too. lol...Keep up the good works.
What a hatred for cats. I've lived with cats all my life and nothing has ever happened to me. What viruses and parasites does a person transmit? Poor pets in Australia
This is an educational video on disease and their effect on human health. I have a roomate who's mental health, and health and skin overall went to sh*t after owning about 10 cats, and dealing with feeding dozens of strays. She sometimes let's the strays roam in the home. I honestly believe this as she's not the same person she was prior to owning cats. This is not a hate but facts. Just like humans can spread illnesses towards another such as the flu, herpes etc. Just because you haven't caught any doesn't mean others don't have it and can't spread it.
Look up "rat attraction to cats". It's a fungal infection that makes rats stop seeing cats as their predators. It can be transmitted to humans too, explaining the 'crazy cat lady/mister syndrome'...
@@IndoPakCanvas Yes, you are right, they are not like people..they are better than people a hundred times. And science is not a dogma, but is constantly tested. 😁And anything can be called science.. If you support the killing of large numbers of animals (not just cats) in Australia, which is known as the country with the worst animal welfare laws, then I don't know what to say to you. Everything is an invasive species to them, except humans who are definitely the #1 invasive species. And humans are not native to Australia, why don't they go back to where they came from and colonize the continent..That would be the best thing for nature and the environment 😁😁🤣
Ah, if "nothing has ever happened" to you, then I guess it isn't a problem. Ignore the dozens of studies, all of the data obtained from scientific research across the globe. It hasn't happened to this random person so it isn't real.
A cat is a domestic animal and has no place in the wild, it is there because of man's carelessness. She hunts to survive. Why don't you just catch them and take them to shelters? Since they are domestic animals, they are put up for adoption. And solved problems. I don't understand Australia, instead of poisoning and killing them, they also destroy animals to survive, isn't that more humane?
Buffaloes and dingoes aren't bad. Both provide crucial ecological benefits. For example, buffalo reduce wildfires, disperse and germinate seeds, improve soil quality with their dung, provide dung for dung beetles and flies, and provide invertebrates for cattle egrets, pied herons, white-faced egrets, and willie wagtails.
