Buffering the ecosystem impact of invasive cane toads

该项目旨在解决由入侵物种造成的破坏性生态问题，通过开发一种新的方法，不依赖于通过训练脆弱的本地捕食者不吃有毒的甘蔗蟾蜍来根除入侵者。该项目的预期成果包括在整个金伯利地区建立一个广泛的以保护为重点的团体联盟，从私人土地所有者和当地企业到土著团体、政府和非政府机构。它还将导致评估在景观规模上部署厌恶味道的方法。这将通过保护脆弱的动物和在澳大利亚热带生物多样性高的地区建立一个强大的网络提供巨大的好处。

This project aims to address the devastating ecological problems caused by invasive species, by developing a novel approach that does not rely upon eradicating the invader through training vulnerable native predators not to eat toxic cane toads. Expected outcomes of this project include building a broad coalition of conservation-focused groups, from private land-owners and local businesses through to Indigenous groups and government and non-government agencies across the entire Kimberley region. It will also result in the evaluation of methods for deployment of taste-aversion at a landscape scale. This should provide significant benefits by conserving vulnerable fauna and building a powerful network within a region of high biodiversity in tropical Australia.
