We have also tried to retain some of the outback humour with a chapter on some of the ‘bloopers’ that can only happen when you have to take hundreds of volunteers into an environment full of saltwater crocodiles, snakes, and heat and humidity beyond human tolerance” stated Jordy Groffen, KTB Biodiversity Scientist and co-author of the KTB publication.

Jordy Groffen further stated. “In this remarkable publication KTB provide the reader an opportunity to learn a little more about cane toads and their impacts and to join volunteers as they go to the most beautiful, but also the muddiest, wettest and extreme places in the

Kimberley region of Western Australia, places a normal resident or tourist would never go. Readers can share the passion Kimberley people feel about the cause with many returning year after year and helping to raise awareness of the devastating effect this pest has on our environment”.

A final word from Stacey Porter “Catching cane toads with volunteers is always great fun and interesting as they come from all different walks of life including backpackers, politicians, TV crews from around the world, researchers, and of course our regular volunteers from Kununurra and the broader Kimberley residents including Indigenous groups and local school groups.

This KTB publication has a story to tell from people from all walks of life and the science and knowledge picked up by ordinary people concerned about the impacts of toads on their beloved Kimberley environment.
