Guardians of the Sanctuary
A talk on community successes in managing invasive species.
What can the community do to protect our island sanctuary from invasive species ?
Join Rob Brewster, Rewilding Manager at the Invasive Species Council, for an inspiring look at how communities are successfully fighting back against invasive species. While Bribie Island faces ongoing ecological pressures from feral pests and encroaching weeds, successful community-led models across Australia prove that recovery is possible.
In this session, Rob will share insights into restoring ecological resilience and managing threatening animals like feral cats, pigs and foxes. Discover how targeted local action, novel management approaches, and dedicated community conservation can reclaim and protect our unique island sanctuaries.
