Day after day, feral horses are trashing and trampling sensitive alpine ecosystems and streams, causing the decline and extinction of native animals like the critically endangered southern corroboree frog. The federal government’s Threatened Species Scientific Committee recently stated that feral horses ‘may be the crucial factor that causes final extinction’ for 12 alpine species.

With the feral horse population so high, thousands need to be removed annually to stop our national park becoming a horse paddock. Aerial shooting, undertaken humanely and safely by professionals using standard protocols, is the only way this can happen.

The NSW government has opened a month-long public consultation and anyone in Australia can take part. That means we have just 30 days to ensure everyone who cares about Kosci and its wildlife helps get these vital changes over the line by making a submission.

That’s why it’s crucial the NSW government hears from you! Tell them you support aerial culling to protect our native wildlife and ecosystems from destructive feral horses in Kosciuszko National Park today.

It doesn’t need to be long and you don’t need to be an expert – just tell them you want our native wildlife protected and support national parks staff having all the appropriate tools to do this.

We’ve provided an example submission for you to edit. Add your own words and experiences to make it even more powerful.

Thank you for taking action to save the Snowies and the native wildlife that call the mountains home.
