Invasive animals – particularly foxes, cats, rabbits and rats – have caused or contributed to dozens of extinctions in Australia, and threaten many of our most vulnerable native species. Goats, pigs, horses and other hard-hoofed feral animals cause serious degradation.
As with native species, climate change will benefit some invasive animals and cause others to decline.
The Invasive Species Council was formed in 2002 to seek stronger laws, policies and programs to protect nature from harmful pests, weeds and diseases.
The Invasive Species Council acknowledges the Traditional Custodians throughout Australia and their connections to land and sea. We pay our respect to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples today.
