Show Notes
South Australias feral deer eradication program, launched in 2022, has made significant strides, reducing the deer population by over 70%. The state government has allocated an additional $1.5 million to extend the program until 2027. This initiative, involving primary industries, landscape boards, and water authorities, uses various methods to control deer numbers. These deer, which wreak havoc on native habitats and spread invasive species, have seen a significant decrease in sightings, allowing restoration work to flourish. However, advocates warn of potential rebounds without consistent funding. The primary industries minister supports the extension and seeks federal backing, as parties prepare for state election promises on pest control.
