Cane Toads


 

A heartfelt cry from the Kununurra Community to the Nation now fighting to stop the cane toad from crossing into WA since Sept. 2004.

 

Website constructed by Dean Goodgame of Kimberley Specialists in Research Inc.

The Kimberley Toad Busters Inc. are the only truly totally volunteer group
on the ground (since the 10th Sept. 2005) trying to stop the cane toad
from getting across the Western Australian border. To date we have
largely met all field expenses from community fund raising efforts, local government input and community donations, Biodiversity Protection Inc (and recently a commitment of $304,000 from the Federal Government) .
For the first time in 72 years, a totally volunteer force, with the help of the Department of Environment and Conservation field team have the ability to 'hold' the
cane toad front line while government and scientists find a 'biological' solution to the relentless march of the cane toad.
Kimberley Toad Busters is as much about gathering scientific data as it is about 'busting' toads.
'Front' line field biological data collected by the Kimberley Toad Busters and collated by Kimberley Specialists in Research is helping to assist in the Federal Governments efforts to find a 'biological' solution to the problem.


       

The aim of this website is to document the Kimberley Toad Busters fight to stop the cane toad crossing into Western Australia and to provide the Western Australian Community some understanding of the enormous efforts (and contributions) that can be made by unpaid volunteers!
