The effects on rangeland condition and livestock production of reducing the numbers of rabbits, feral goats and kangaroos are being measured in the Olary Ranges of South Australia. This Vertebrate Pest Program project involves the North East Pastoral Soil Board, local pastoralists and three agencies of the South Australian and Commonwealth governments.
An improved understanding of the financial and other benefits, and the costs, of controlling pest mammals and kangaroos could lead to a reassessment of management practices and policy regarding domestic and wild grazing mammals in rangelands.
