We cannot fence the whole of Australia. Therefore, we need to know which species are most at risk from cats.

Decades of evidence link foxes and feral cats with extinctions of Australian mammals. Claims these introduced predators aren’t responsible don’t stack up.
Blink and you’ll miss it. The kowari is a charismatic marsupial carnivore that needs our help.
Dozens of threatened Australian species are back from the brink. But many are reliant on fenced-off safe havens and could not survive the feral predators of the wild. True safety is harder
What if we could help threatened marsupials evolve to survive foxes and feral cats?
Cats are wreaking havoc on Australia’s ecosystems and non-lethal methods aren’t enough.
Feral cats are highly adaptable and highly variable, hence we must continue to search for their Achilles Heel and invest in a wide range of control methods.
Almost a third of Australia’s mammals have become extinct or are facing extinction, largely thanks to introduced predators such as cats and foxes. But what is the best way to save the species still alive…
