11 Sept 2023 Biodiversity Conference
Members of the Population Biology and Genomics Group attended the Biodiversity Conference 2023: Listen to Country, where they presented on the impending cane toad invasion of the WA Pilbara Region.
Ben’s talk - ‘A plan to keep toads out of the Pilbara’ outlined the potential of a ‘toad containment zone’ to halt the spread of cane toads into the Pilbara region.
Judy’s talk ‘Cane toads in the Pilbara: What have we got to lose?’ outlined the threats posed to native Pilbara fauna should cane toads invade.
The Biodiversity Conference 2023 was held from the 10th - 12th October at the University of Western Australia. Academics, environmental consultants, government and non-government organisations, Indigenous organisations, and industry came together to discuss local biodiversity matters.
