Rabbits may not predate on native animals like other invasive species, and yet they are one of the most devastating introduced species this country has ever seen.🌾
Whether it’s devouring crops, destroying soil integrity or outcompeting other ground-dwelling animals, rabbits cause significant land destruction and cost the Australian agriculture sector more than $200 million each year.
They also pose a threat to hundreds of native animals and plants. 🌱

“Mother Nature is very good at exponential growth. It can feel like there's almost none there and then overnight, suddenly you're like, why are there rabbits everywhere.” he said.
