How Australian Farmers Deal With Millions Of Invasive Foxes

In Australia, millions of foxes pose a significant threat to agriculture, causing widespread damage and economic losses. Introduced in the 19th century for recreational hunting, foxes have since proliferated, becoming a pervasive invasive species.

They prey on livestock, particularly lambs and poultry, and also threaten native wildlife, compounding the biodiversity crisis. Their impact on crops is indirect yet substantial, as they reduce the population of pollinators and seed dispersers by preying on small mammals and birds.
