Yalata predator control

Feral predators are a major threat to vulnerable species, especially birds that nest on the ground, such as malleefowl and hooded plovers.

AW is working with the Yalata Anangu Aboriginal Corporation on a trail of 3G-enabled Celium trap technology to target cats and foxes in key habitat for both species in the Yalata Indigenous Protected Area (IPA). Celium traps send a signal to a mobile phone or desktop app when they are triggered, alerting the Yalata Rangers that a trap needs to be checked. This means the rangers don't need to drive long distances just to check traps daily, a big time saving in an area as large and remote as the Yalata IPA.

Staff from AW and Yalata will work together on the planning and delivery of the project.

This project is funded by the South Australian Government's Landscape Priorities Fund (LPF).
