Swans, geese... and wild boar!

PhD Candidate Peter Hamnett of the Global Ecology Laboratory (http://globalecologyflinders.com) at Flinders University discusses the recent eradication of feral pigs from Kangaroo Island in conjunction with Biosecurity SA, as well as the paper he recently led to determine optimal and cost-effective control options for pig removal (http://doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.70082). This interview was with Brooke Neindorf of ABC Rural (Eyre Peninsula) that aired on SA Country hour last week.
