The world's longest fence is build to keep away the cats to get in
News24xx.com - Away from the innocent domestic type, it is estimated that there are millions of wild predator cats that cause chaos in the native Australian mammal population. Wild cats are carnivores and love to devour small mammals and birds.Their natural instinct for hunting means they also kill hundreds of animals unnecessarily.
This region now has the worst extinction statistics anywhere in the world - 30 mammals to be exact. "There are 10 threatened mammals," said Australian Wildlife Conservancy CEO Atticus Fleming."Some of them have gone extinct in central Australia for almost a century, others have disappeared in the last few decades, because of that Australia is the center for mammalian extinction in global scale."
"To place it in a global context - a country like the US because European settlements have experienced mammal extinction, so Australia is really out of the chart in terms of extinction rates of mammals," Fleming said.
Far from giving up, the Australian Birds organization moved Newhaven Station to the Australian Wildlife Conservancy, tries to overcome the crisis.
The used to be farm property was purchased more than a decade ago and has a vast and diverse ecosystem, 350 kilometers from Alice Springs. This place is located right on the edge of the Great Sandy Desert and is in the center of the problem area. The material for the first stage wildcat eradication project in New Haven, about 44 kilometers of fence will surround 9.5000 hectares of property.
This is one of Australia's most significant conservation infrastructure parts and will ultimately restore this vast landscape to be like 200 years before, before cats and wild foxes arrive. The fence stretches over 185 kilometers protecting 70,000 hectares of land. But in order for the fence to work, all cats must be caught and removed from within the fenced area.
