Summary

Kangaroo Island just pulled off a global first: it’s officially pig-free after a five-year, $7.5 million battle against feral pigs that destroyed crops, ate lambs, and threatened native wildlife. With help from bushfires that killed 90% of the population and two years of rigorous monitoring to confirm no survivors, the island now stands as the world’s largest to eradicate an established feral pig population — a triumph for farmers, conservationists, and the environment.
