WA’s fight against cane toads falters as amphibian reaches west-coast
WA’s fight to stop the spread of cane toads is faltering, with Kimberley locals reporting the toxic pest has wiped out native wildlife and reached the western coastline of the region.
Chair of the Derby Landcare Group Robin Chapple spoke with Julie-anne Sprague on 6PR’s Afternoons and detailed the extent of the toad’s movements.
“They have been moving across the Kimberly, most probably [cover] 200km or thereabouts in two to three years,” he said.
