Kangaroo Island Finally Free of Feral Pigs

Kangaroo Island has officially erased its feral pig problem after 200 years — a triumph achieved through coordinated efforts, cutting-edge tech, and relentless persistence, especially after the 2020 bushfires created a critical window for action.

This success is now being scaled statewide as a blueprint for tackling invasive species. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
