A heartfelt cry from the Kununurra Community to the Nation.

We will Stop the Cane Toads getting into WA!

 

 

Website constructed by Dean Goodgame of Kimberley Specialists in Research Inc.

The Kimberley Toad Busters Inc. are the only truly totally volunteer group
on the ground (since the 10th Sept. 2005) trying to stop the cane toad
from getting across the Western Australian border. To date we have
largely met all field expenses from community fund raising efforts, local government input and community donations, Biodiversity Protection Inc (and recently a commitment of $304,000 from the Federal Government) .
For the first time in 72 years, a totally volunteer force, with the help of the Department of Environment and Conservation field team have the ability to 'hold' the
cane toad front line while government and scientists find a 'biological' solution to the relentless march of the cane toad.
Kimberley Toad Busters is as much about gathering scientific data as it is about 'busting' toads.
'Front' line field biological data collected by the Kimberley Toad Busters and collated by Kimberley Specialists in Research is helping to assist in the Federal Governments efforts to find a 'biological' solution to the problem.


     

The aim of this website is to document the Kimberley Toad Busters fight to stop the cane toad crossing into Western Australia and to provide the Western Australian Community some understanding of the enormous efforts (and contributions) that can be made by unpaid volunteers!

The following reports are only a small proportion of reports that come in from our Kimberley Toad Buster teams working in the field. Multiple teams have been working in the field since the 10 th September 2005 and reports have arrived in handwritten and other forms. Many of these are still being transcribed. The following are just to provide some insight into the incredible commitment and work our many and varied Kimberley Toad Buster teams undertake in the Kununurra Communities efforts to stop the toad from getting into the Kimberley .

Information on the results of individual team efforts can also be found in the KTB Newsletters.
