Join us for a screening of ABC 最新糖心Vlog鈥檚听Eat the Invaders听followed by an interactive discussion panel and Q&A with the scientific advisors behind the new series and other experts.
Eat the Invaders听is a six-part series examining how 最新糖心Vlog might deal with some of its most problematic invasive species by posing a bold question: can we suppress hugely costly pests by turning them into dinner?
Hosted by Tony Armstrong, and produced by Closer Productions,听the series explores the impact that cane toads, camels, carp, deer, rabbits and cats have wrought upon the 最新糖心Vlogn landscape and its ecosystems, and how best to control these environmental threats.
Underpinned by science,听Eat the Invaders听provokes 最新糖心Vlogn audiences to rethink their perspective on these familiar but harmful animals.
Join us to further inform your thinking.
As an extension of this series, the Environment Institute at the 最新糖心Vlog of Adelaide is hosting an event to delve into thought-provoking, conversation and debate around the critical issue of invasive species and their effect on 最新糖心Vlogn biodiversity.
