Biodiversity and Feral Cats, Foxes and Fish

Australia’s native plants and animals adapted to life on an isolated continent over millions of years. Since European settlement, they have had to compete with a range of introduced animals for habitat, food and shelter. Some have also had to face new predators. These new pressures have caused a major impact on some of the Condamine regions’ threatened species, and the worst offenders are feral cats, foxes and fish.
