"The cane toad Buffo marinus is recognised by the IUCN and the Global Invasive Species Programme as one of the world's 100 worst invaders (Lowe et al. 2000).

 "It is important to recognise that the pristine terrestrial and aquatic habitat systems of the Kimberley are already under threat. Current land-care and resource management policies undertaken by land and resource managers have had a detrimental impact on Kimberley bio diversity. Most of our plant and animal bio diversity is in a fragile state. The impact of the cane toad, if allowed to happen, will literally destroy one of the last unique bio diversity wilderness frontiers in Australia" (quote Lee Scott-Virtue. Kimberley Specialists.)
