Cane toad front thins out.

Cane toad front thins out. :

"'We can sort of identify where it is but it's in much, much smaller numbers than when we saw it out in the bush and I'm sure that reason is because of all of the thousands of toads that have been killed by all the Humpty Doo people, Palmerston, Howard Springs, it's thinned it right out.'

Frogwatch also says the yellow spotted goanna is rapidly disappearing from the Top End, killed off by the arrival of the cane toad."

I have blogged about FrogWatch before and it is a good example of co ordinating the community into solving a community problem. Rather than sit there bemoaning the fact cane toads are a scourge and should never have been put here, the Toadbusters campaign from Frogwatch has kept our eye on the toad, has co ordinated toad watchers and toad busters and has clearly had an impact. Graeme Sawyer can be well proud of himself. He is not only help us to rid ourselves of the toads, he is giving our own species a demonstrable chance of regeneration.
