Here’s a simple solution to the cane toad invasion. And it costs just 66¢ a hectare
A narrow patch of land stands between the invasive species and the Pilbara – 27 million hectares where native species thrive. A new program taking aim at the cane toads’ Achilles heel.

Here's what I've been up to lately- working on the Toad Containment Zone #TCZ - an area South of Broome with no free water for toads #wildoz

Toads are on track to reach the Pilbara in the next 20 years. If they do, they'll threaten 25 native mammals and reptiles- 8 of which occur nowhere else in the world. The Toad Containment Zone can stop them, here's how! #wildoz #tcz theconversation.com/cane-toads-a...
Cane toads are hopping towards the Pilbara, but a water-free containment zone could stop them
Cane toads will reach Broome in the next couple of years. Creating a waterless “containment zone” is the only way to stop them pillaging the Pilbara.

Switching 50km/h speed limits to 30km/h would protect cyclists while barely affecting commutes, research finds
One expert says a cyclist hit by a car travelling 50km/h has about a one-in-10 chance of surviving, while at 30km/h it is a nine-in-10 chance
