Summary
Kangaroo Island is on a mission to become the world’s largest cat-free landmass, with a $4 million push to eradicate feral cats from the Dudley Peninsula by 2030—saving endangered native wildlife like the southern brown bandicoot, which hasn’t been seen there in 60 years. Backed by federal, state, and donor funding, the project uses cutting-edge tech including AI cameras, thermal drones, and remote traps, plus community reporting and a 3-km fence to keep cats out. Early results are promising: cat numbers are plummeting, and native species are rebounding—proof that coordinated conservation can make a real difference.
