This strategic approach towards vertebrate pest management relies on a scientific direction, achievable performance measures and collaboration...

... the interaction between these Acts and the practical consequences arising from them. We also describe a proposed approach to wild dog control orders that binds the Crown under the Rural Lands Protection Act 1998 , and hopefully enables dingoes to be conserved in New South Wales. ...

... to or within wild dog-inhabited terrain, and this is the impetus for current policies on wild dog management. Baiting, with meat baits containing compound 1080, trapping and exclusion fencing are the major techniques used to control wild dogs. A strategic approach to the management of wild dogs, where...

There is an urgent need to develop new approaches to flying-fox management. It is our view that effective methods of on-crop control...

... distribution and abundance in native forests and woodlands is in decline. The species is perceived as being common in urban and suburban areas: as a result, government departments, pest control businesses and volunteer wildlife organisations commonly receive calls from residents requesting that ‘problem...

The most desirable attributes of a monitoring system were identified as simplicity, integrated sampling, efficient sampling, reliability, feasibility, credibility and affordability. It is recognized that it is not possible...

... sensitive to logging. Thinning and control burning may have potential value as tools to modify regrowth forest structure to benefit the latter group, but this new concept needs field-testing. A general focus on hollow-dependent species may have diverted attention from the needs of other groups. A logical...

I still support the alternative view that the best way to reduce grazing pressure on the rangelands is by reducing sheep, and that the best way...
