And Tons of Rabbits

Introducing foreign species to Australia’s delicate ecosystems has played a significant role in the country’s history and continues to pose challenges today. Rabbits are an introduced species that has become invasive and caused widespread ecological disruption.

With billions of rabbits in Australia, their voracious appetite threatens the native flora and fauna. They harm vegetation by consuming many plants and competing with native herbivores. The country has implemented substantial efforts to cull the rabbit population as part of conservation measures.
