Some excellent educational videos here. Great for sharing with anyone who owns a cat or needs to understand the impact of feral cats.
With new #research & #technology, the future of #feralcat control is looking promising 🤞. On #IWD2024, hear from experts, many of whom are women, who are helping progress research into #cat 🐈⬛management to protect #biodiversity 🐾#InspireInclusion

Hey @FloraEGill you would “slaughter 1,000 birds if it would make your cat happy”, but how do you feel about slaughtering 2.4 *BILLION*? That’s the estimated number killed annually by outdoor cats in the USA.

#WorldWetlandsDay highlights the need to protect biodiversity. As efficient predators, #cats are a major threat to #biodiversity in #wetlands globally. Learn more about #cat impacts by watching our #WAFeralCat23 videos here. #WildOz youtu.be/Q3o96304RPY

Is #sandalwood a keystone resource? Why are numbers declining, and what does this mean for the ecosystems that rely on it?

The WAFCWG is pleased to support the WA Feral Cat Strategy released by the DBCA and the $7.6 million in the Sate Budget to support feral cat management in WA. #Feralcats remain a significant threat to our #biodiversity and #wildlife. bit.ly/46tkVSs

A key part of the $7.6M #WAFeralCatStrategy announced today is a cross-tenure, multi-organisation approach to managing the impacts of #FeralCats on #biodiversity. The @WAFCWG will be a core contributor to delivering successful on-ground impact in this space!

I enjoyed talking today with Nadia Mitsopoulos on @abcperth about the new @TSR_Hub data just out on #petcat ownership following the #pandemic pet boom, and in particular what this means for cat #impacts on native wildlife.

Check out & share this important story on @abcnews last night about roaming pet cats killing billions of wildlife every year.
Time for NSW & WA to let councils introduce cat containment rules, like they can in every other state @ChrisMinnsMP @MarkMcGowanMP

Two in three cat owners have lost a cat to a roaming-related accident. The @RSPCA have a program that’s helping to change the way cat owners think about their pet’s safety by keeping cats fully contained at home. Best for #cats, also great for #wildlife!

Nyangumarta, Kiwirrkurra, Ngururrpa and Birriliburu desert ranger teams each presented at the @WAFeral Cat Symposium in Perth last week to share their knowledge about managing feral cats to protect bilby, Tjakura, night parrot, rock wallaby and even sea turtle hatchlings.

A #QuokkaSelfie opportunity for @Harry_Styles would not have been possible if we hadn't eradicated feral cats from @RottnestIsland back in 2002. Quokka selfies now bring in $7M pa to the WA economy. Great work @Science_DBCA!

Guy Ballard: doing "something" for conservation is not sufficient. we must be doing something effective.
here is a framework for what that looks like. @WAFCWG @DingoResearch #WAFeralCat23

Birriluburru Rangers worry about the damage that cats and foxes do on Bilby, mulgara, marsupial mole, great desert skink. "We don't want to use baits in our traditional Country so we are trialling #felixers" #WAFeralCat23 @stellaship @BushHeritageWA @IDA_Australia
