This Threatened Species Day, 7 September, marks the launch of a new website to reduce the devastating impact of feral cats and foxes on threatened native wildlife, agricultural productivity and human health.

Rabbits and viral biocontrol agents are in an ‘arms race’ as rabbits gradually develop genetic resistance that reduces agents’ effectiveness over time. To efficiently manage rabbit impacts, a pipeline of biocontrol agents needs to be developed, ideally to enable a new agent to be released every 10 to 15 years or so.

This new resource offers practical solutions for all landholders impacted by the threats posed by increasing feral deer populations.
