Cane toads are hopping towards the Pilbara, but a water-free containment zone could stop them Cane toads will reach Broome in the next couple of years. Creating a waterless “containment zone” is the only way to stop them pillaging the Pilbara.

Toads are on track to reach the Pilbara in the next 20 years. If they do, they'll threaten 25 native mammals and reptiles- 8 of which occur nowhere else in the world. The Toad Containment Zone can stop them, here's how! #wildoz #tcz theconversation.com/cane-toads-a...

Cane toads have almost conquered the width of the country. This 'waterless barrier' could stop them A bevy of small mammals and lizards could find themselves on the endangered species list if cane toads got into the Pilbara. A bold plan could prevent the biodiversity disaster, but more money is need...

That one is paywalled so here's an accessible one from ABC News www.abc.net.au/news/science... #TCZ #wildoz

Here’s a simple solution to the cane toad invasion. And it costs just 66¢ a hectare A narrow patch of land stands between the invasive species and the Pilbara – 27 million hectares where native species thrive. A new program taking aim at the cane toads’ Achilles heel.

Here's what I've been up to lately- working on the Toad Containment Zone #TCZ - an area South of Broome with no free water for toads #wildoz
