WA Government Trialling a new feral cat bait in the Kimberley- WAĪ new hybrid feral cat bait, Curiosity® 1080, has been developed to reduce impacts on northern quolls and will be trialled in the Kimberley region. The project will also help the endangered mala, the critically endangered Gilbert's potoroo, western ground parrot and western swamp tortoise as well as the vulnerable greater bilby, western quoll, quokka and noisy scrub-bird. Threatened species, including the endangered woylie and the vulnerable western ringtail possum, black-flanked rock-wallaby and numbat, will be relocated to areas where baiting has reduced feral predator numbers. The project will use trapping and remote cameras to monitor the effectiveness of the baits and their impact on non-target species. The integration of Eradicat® feral cat baiting with existing Probait® fox baiting activity will help protect threatened species across more than 850 000 hectares of conservation areas, including the northern jarrah forest, midwest semi-arid zone, wandoo woodland and south coast regions. Applying best practice feral cat and fox baiting- WA We need new tools, approaches and partnerships to limit their impact. They imperil around a third of our threatened mammals, reptiles, frogs and birds. Their threat factor was more than double that of red foxes, the next highest threat, and triple that of habitat loss and fragmentation.įeral cats have contributed to the extinction of at least 28 mammal species since they first arrived in Australia, and they continue to wreak havoc. The Mammal Action Plan 2012 and a report published in 2014 by the US National Academy of Sciences (Woinarski et al) ranked feral cats as the highest threat to Australia's mammals. The Australian Government’s Threatened Species Strategy identifies tackling feral cats as its top priority for action. We need to focus our efforts if we are to bring our threatened animals and plants back from the brink.
