Foxes, cats and fire in the Otways

This project was part of the Wild Otways Initiative. For the full article, please visit our Foxes, cats and fire in the Otways overview.

As a part of the Wild Otways Initiative, the Conservation Ecology Centre investigated the relationship between fire and these feral pests in the Carlisle Health region of the Otways.

The devastating impact of foxes and cats on Australia’s native wildlife is well documented and the situation is no different in the Otways where our most vulnerable small mammals are at risk from these feral predators.
