Faced with the devastation of the Black Summer bushfires, the impact of the drought and floods, and the COVID-19 pandemic, Landcarers across South Australia have rallied in the wake of unparalleled challenges. Landcarers have been locally active rebuilding communities with on-ground projects including habitat restoration for threatened species, bushland regeneration, wellbeing and mental health activities.

The Green Adelaide Urban Landcare Award acknowledges an outstanding community group that has made significant contributions to increasing community capacity for sustainable living and nature connection and advocacy, and/or is undertaking on-ground action to protect, enhance or restore the natural values of a site on behalf of the wider community, in any urban area across South Australia.

We may not be able to eliminate all pest animals so instead, we prioritise which ones to manage to help look after native wildlife, pets, livestock, plants and crops. And we also need to stop new pests from establishing.

What makes an animal a pest?

There are two key elements that make an animal a pest, they are:

1. introduced to an area where they don’t naturally occur – either accidentally or deliberately
2. wreaking havoc on the environment, agriculture and/or pets.

What are the impacts of pest animals?

Some impacts of pest animals include:

• • kill pet chickens and livestock (foxes)
  • eat native animals (foxes, feral cats)
  • destroy native vegetation, damage crops and cause soil erosion (rabbits, deer)
  • can transmit diseases to native wildlife and livestock (feral cats, foxes)
  • compete with native animals and stock for food (feral goats)
  • pose a threat to public safety on the roads (deer).
