Officially, they all agree eradicating fire ants from Australia is ‘technically feasible’ and in the national interest. So why are Australia’s state and federal governments failing to fully fund the eradication program?
When US hire car assistant Nicole heard that Australia has a chance to eradicate fire ants before they get out of control she had just one message for us.
A kick of the footy, a game of back yard cricket and even the Aussie BBQ would be at risk if Australian state and federal
Australia’s fight against fire ants reached a watershed moment in 2017 when as part of our efforts a ten-year battle plan was announced.
Deputy PM Barnaby Joyce was only one of a very impressive list of winners recognised for making a major contribution to protecting Australia from dangerous new invasive species.
A colony of red imported fire ants was discovered in Sydney early December. If they are not eradicated, life in Australia will be irrevocably changed.
The cane toad (Bufo marinus) is continuing its invasion of northern Australia. In 2001 it reached Kakadu National Park, many years ahead of expectations. All of
The fire ant was first recorded in Australia in 2001, just before ISC formed. Tim Low, author of Feral Future and joint founder of ISC, described the ant then as the ‘nastiest of eco-villains’. If unchecked, it could cover all of our tropical north and vast areas of coastal Australia.
The majority of Australia’s weeds have been introduced deliberately, and most of them have escaped from gardens (garden escapees), doing terrible damage to our natural environment.
New plant diseases that could one day blight Australian ecosystems are incubating in overseas plantations and crops of Australian plants.
Our report ‘Sowing the Seeds of Destruction’ details the environmental risks posed by weedy pasture plants being used for salinity control in southern Australia.
Our invasion watch profiles detail some of the most frightening invasive insects we need to keep out of Australia.
Gamba grass was declared a weed by both the Queensland and Northern Territory governments thanks to our efforts.
