Kangaroo Island is on a mission to become the world’s largest human-inhabited area free of feral cats by 2030, a bold move to save 30+ threatened native species like echidnas and bandicoots from extinction. With nearly $4 million in funding—$2.7M from the federal government, $800K from South Australia, and $370K from private investors—the project is scaling up efforts using traps, AI cameras, drones, and detection dogs. Already successful in removing deer and goats, this initiative marks a historic leap in Australian conservation, turning the island into a true wildlife sanctuary.
