Feral animals boom in urban areas across south-east NSW after last season’s bushfires
Landholders and local organisations across south-east NSW say there has been an increase in sightings of feral animals in urban environments since last season’s bushfires.
Key points:
- The combination of drought, bushfires and heavy rainfall have increased the number of feral animal sightings
- A majority of bushland across the south east was destroyed during the 2019-2020 bushfires
- National Parks and Wildlife Service has undertaken the largest feral animal control program in the agency’s history since last year’s bushfires
The 2019–2020 bushfires burnt more than 5.5 million hectares across the state with the far-south coast and Snowy Mountains region some of the worst areas hit.
