Grant Description
The "Reducing Grazing Pressure through Kangaroo Management" program provides $900,000 in funding from the South Australian Government's $73 million drought-support package to support kangaroo management in drought-impacted areas. Led by PIRSA in collaboration with Landscape Boards, the Department for Environment and Water (DEW), and industry stakeholders, the program aims to reduce the impact of overabundant, starving kangaroos on crops, pastures, and native vegetation. It offers financial incentives to professional field harvesters to harvest or humanely euthanise kangaroos, thereby supporting both animal welfare and primary producers affected by drought.
