The Battle Against Buffel Grass

from Particle Word for Word

Invasive species are a known threat to biodiversity in Australia. But lesser known is the humble Buffel grass. Buffel's threat is equal to that of feral cat and fox predation, so why isn't it better known? Introduced over a century ago, Buffel can spread rapidly and is currently threatening not only Aussie animals and biodiversity, but it’s also threatening connection to Country. Join host, Morgan Knoxlee as we delve into why Buffel grass is such a threat, what sort of impacts it's having and what Australia is doing about it. The article was written and read by Cat Williams.
