SAVE THE AUSTRALIAN ALPS!
Make a high-impact submission to the Australian Senate inquiry into the management of feral horses in the Australian Alps. The deadline for submissions has been extended to 11:59PM Friday, 28 April.
For too long, inaction and delay by state governments has allowed feral horse numbers to spiral out of control across the Australian Alps, destroying our unique alpine wildlife, rivers and ecosystems.
But a new Federal Senate inquiry is a powerful opportunity to hold these state governments to account. This is the moment we’ve been fighting for.
Independent Senator David Pocock has successfully launched a formal inquiry by the Australian Senate into the impacts and management of feral horses in the Australian Alps.
Whether you live in the alps, have visited them on holiday, or just give a damn about our precious alpine and sub-alpine regions and their unique wildlife, now is your time to act.

Your submission will help:
- Put a spotlight on the feral horse issue and the years of failures by the NSW and Victorian governments to take adequate action to protect wildlife and ecosystems by rapidly reducing feral horse numbers in the Alps.
- Encourage federal government intervention, including federal funding and regulations to force state governments to act. Importantly, Australian Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek has explicitly backed the inquiry as a way for her “to ensure that we are doing everything we can”.
- Push for important changes to national environmental law which will ensure places like the Australian Alps are better protected. The federal government has promised changes to environmental law this year and this inquiry will inform both the government and the Senate crossbench’s consideration in that process.
The public submission period has now closed.
