1 Invasive fauna impact and eradication: an Australian perspective Dr Pip Masters Envisage Environmental Services
2 The Joan Southgate Travelling Scholarship available through AWMS Joan s principal intent for the fund was to assist in reciprocal travel and on-costs between Australasia and Southern Africa for MSc and PhD students studying aspects of wildlife conservation and management
3 The Australian perspective European settlement 315 endemic land mammals 29 species extinct, 55 species threatened Invasive species the main driver Hard to eradicate on mainland due to size Australia has over 8,300 isiands and 518 with vertebrate invasives Species on islands Once widely distributed on the mainland but now restricted to islands Species only found on islands Refugia for translocated individuals John C. Z. Woinarski, Burbidgec,A.A. and Harrisond P.L. Ongoing unraveling of a continental fauna: Decline and extinction of Australian mammals since European settlement
4 Predictors of successful eradication Human habitation Topographic complexity Island area Preparedness: planning, strategic approach and adequate funding Gregory, Henderson,Cassey 2014; Pluess et al 2012
5 Is eradication feasible using a cost effective approach? 1. Does the socio-political environment support eradication? 2. Can you destroy the population faster than replacement? 3. Are all individuals at risk using available techniques? 4. Can the population be monitored at low densities? 5. Can re-infestation be prevented? 6. Does the cost of eradication out weigh the benefits? Bomford and Obrien (1995), Parkes et al (1996)
6 Implementing effective feral animal control Community support Effective control Effective monitoring and evaluation
7 Rat eradication on Lord Howe Island Small island (14 km 2 ) 600 km east of mainland, 380 people. Benefits Avoid seven extinctions & save endangered palm-forest ecosystem No more rat baiting, save local palm industry Planning and implementation 2001: feasibility study 2012: $9 m received for rodent eradication using poisonous baits Lack of community trust of government and staff Concerns for livelihoods, health, tourism and environment 2016: resident liaison officer to gain trust and provide facts
8 Implementing effective feral animal control Community support Effective control Effective monitoring and evaluation
9 The Kangaroo Island example Third largest island (4,400 km 2 ) Inhabited by around 5,000 people Topographically complex Large areas of thick native vegetation that is difficult to access Invasive species: koalas, goats, deer, pigs, cats, rodents, peacocks
10 Koalas Iconic arboreal marsupial eats Eucalypt leaves Declining in Queensland and NSW through urbanization and clearing Over abundant in the south (Victoria and SA) Vulnerable to extinction in 2012 Susceptible to dehydration in drought, hence impacted by climate change
11 Koalas on Kangaroo Island Habitat quality Unsuitable High Quality Medium quality Low quality
12 Koalas on Kangaroo Island 1994: farmers protecting trees by shooting koalas 1996: population estimate (5,000 koalas) no culling; only sterilization and translocation 2001: more accurate estimate (25,000 koalas) 2016: population size unchanged due to new habitat koalas expand into new forestry plantations >12,700 koalas sterilized, $8.6 m in 21 years 2017: new conflict with future logging of forests Molsher 2017
13 Implementing effective feral animal control Community support Effective control Effective monitoring and evaluation
14 Goats Cats
15 Issue Goats Pigs Deer Cats Stakeholder support Moderate Moderate Moderate High Species recruitment Medium Extremely High Low High Destroy faster than they breed Yes with Judas Difficult Yes Difficult Every individual accessible Yes Possibly Yes No Monitoring at low density Yes, Judas, tracks & scats Tracks, scats & cameras Tracks, scats & cameras Low Reinvasion potential Domestic Low Domestic Pets Non-target issues Shooting : low Poison: high Shooting: low Poison :high
16 Gaining and maintaining community support, trust and involvement Scoping studies and surveys to determine community support and concerns Employment of trusted locals for control activities Local knowledge and skills, eyes and ears, dob in a deer Local champions Control methods ethical and acceptable

18 Deer habitat
19 Management units Goats Identified distribution Seven units: based on natural barriers Trialled eradication in MU1 Worked from south to north to limit reinvasion Parks first to show it could be done Deer One management unit individuals using whole area
20 Trial effectiveness of Judas goats Number of goats destroyed with and without Judas goats in FCNP (Cape du Couedic to West Bay) Number of destroyed goats J=3 Oct-Dec 06 J=3 Jan-Mar 07 J=2 April- June 07 J=3 J=3 J=1 J=4 July-Sep 07 Oct- Dec07 Jan_Mar 08 April- June 08 J=4 July-Sep 08 Without Judas With Judas J=4 J=4 Oct-Dec 08 Jan-Mar 09
21 When is goat eradication complete? Monitor using Judas goats for two years Annual searching for sign once Judas goats removed Motion cameras placed in high use areas Community reports
22 Monitoring to determine decline in distribution and abundance Look for tracks at dams in dry season and estimate probability of occupancy Remote cameras: identifying individuals Changes in age structure based on tooth eruption and wear patterns Time taken to destroy a deer
23 Decline in probability of occupancy over time Changed data collection method from prints at dams to detection on camera grids in 2014 following trials and comparisons. This allowed for identification of individuals.

26 Was it worth while?
27 Biosecurity and preventing reinfestation Risk assessment criteria for domestic goats Risk and detection for escape (vegetation cover, fencing, stock monitoring) Consequence of escape (chance of entering suitable habitat). Deer Domestic deer permitted with conditions (double fencing, tagging, log books)
28 Implementing effective feral animal control Community support Effective control Effective monitoring and evaluation
29 Cost of the eradications Costs Aus $1.2M for 10 year project (goats and deer) KI the last 18 goats in FCNP cost approx $ per goat The last three goats in Western River cost around $20,000 each Benefits No on-going control Improved habitat quality and plant diversity No competition with stock, less soil erosion
30 Unforeseen problems Community State response to volunteer hunting accident Amalgamation of organisations resulting in delays and changes to policies and procedures Accessing forestry and individual landholders Control Recreational hunting accident involving staff member Thick vegetation following fires resulted in difficult access Difficulty to maintain momentum and motivation when densities very low Monitoring Monitoring of goat impacts is seen by upper management as low priority and not maintained
31 Summary Eradication on inhabited islands is more complex than uninhabited islands Planning and implementation identify feasibility: finances, staff and technologies transparent, consistent and coherent public information control activities carried out by staff trusted by the community science-based monitoring and evaluation of progress and responses Be flexible and adaptable and learn as you go The final stages are the most expensive and difficult to maintain An eradication will be successful when funding, staff & public interest, and control & monitoring options become aligned.
