Traditional methods based on trap, adopt or euthanise have failed to control cat numbers. An eight-year trial of a more supportive community cat desexing program has been a resounding success theconversation.com/how-to-c…
Check out the most recent update of my work with @adelparklands possums!

Who likes fresh olives? It turns out that some of your #adelaideparklands possums really love them, and others don’t.
Here’s the latest report from Park Lands possum researcher, @TaraDoesScience

A joey possum, still in its mother's pouch, has been found to be in good health, despite its mother's serious illnesses.
Researcher @TaraDoesScience has found dozens of possums in your @adelparklands but is concerned that some of them are in poor health.

This is on you, @tanya_plibersek. Knowingly destroying threatened species habitat and an area of cultural significance to First Nations Peoples, against the wishes of local community. You can’t spin your way out of this abomination.

Who, or what, is attacking your @adelparklands possums? And why are they underweight, compared to their country cousins? Adelaide University researcher Tara McKenzie has made some surprising discoveries in your Park 17.
