南澳大利亚的Kangaroo岛正在领导一项重大努力,消除威胁当地野生生物和牲畜的野猫。 Kangaroo Island, off South Australia, is leading a major effort to eradicate feral cats threatening native wildlife and livestock. 自2020年以来,利用电栅栏、无人驾驶飞机、热成像和狗清除了1 700只猫,剩下约150只。 Since 2020, 1,700 cats have been removed using an electric fence, drones, thermal imaging, and dogs, leaving about 150 remaining. 该项目是通过消除猫、老鼠和猪等入侵物种来恢复岛屿生态系统的全球运动的一部分。 The project is part of a global movement to restore island ecosystems by eliminating invasive species like cats, rats, and pigs. 由于岛屿自然与世隔绝,因此是这种努力的理想选择,澳大利亚的豪沃勋爵和麦克夸里群岛成功地收回了财产。 Islands, due to their natural isolation, are ideal for such efforts, with successful recoveries seen on Australia’s Lord Howe and Macquarie Islands. 新西兰、加拉帕戈斯和关岛也正在实施类似的方案,反映出国际社会日益致力于通过有的放矢的根除来保护生物多样性。 Similar programs are underway in New Zealand, the Galapagos, and Guam, reflecting a growing international commitment to biodiversity conservation through targeted eradication.
