Show Notes
North West Island in the Great Barrier Reef is now rat-free, marking a significant victory for wildlife conservation. After a year-long eradication program involving aerial baiting and ground tools, rangers successfully eliminated the invasive black rats, which posed a threat to the islands diverse ecosystem. The island, a major breeding ground for species like wedge-tailed shearwaters and black noddies, is now safe from rat predation. Visitors are urged to inspect their belongings to prevent future infestations.
