At Outback Advocate, we provide more than just a presence on the ground. We provide a strategic approach to land management, combining traditional field skills with modern ecological insights. Our goal is to reduce invasive pressure and foster landscape resilience.
1. Invasive Species Monitoring & Mapping
Before you can manage a problem, you have to understand its scale. We use a combination of ground-truthing and digital mapping to give you a clear picture of what is happening on your property.
- Population Hotspot Mapping: Identifying where feral species are congregating.
- Impact Assessment: Documenting damage to soil, water sources, and native vegetation.
- Trend Analysis: Tracking movements and population shifts over time.
2. Strategic Feral Animal Management
We specialize in professional, ethical control measures designed to protect the integrity of the outback. We focus on long-term reduction rather than short-term fixes.
- Targeted Control: Focused operations on feral pigs, goats, and other invasive species.
- Waterhole Protection: Securing fragile water sources for native wildlife.
- Custom Management Plans: Tailored strategies that work with your property’s specific topography and climate.
3. Ecological Advocacy & Reporting
We act as a bridge between the land and those who manage it. Our reports provide the evidence needed for grant applications, government compliance, or conservation planning.
- Condition Reports: High-quality documentation of land recovery and health.
- Stakeholder Liaison: Representing the interests of the land in discussions with government or environmental bodies.
- Native Flora Recovery: Monitoring the return of native species once invasive pressure is removed.
The Outback Advocate Difference: We don’t just “show up.” We observe, we act, and we report. Every project is approached with the understanding that we are stewards of a unique and ancient ecosystem.
Targeted Invasive Species Management
At Outback Advocate, we provide high-precision control programs tailored to the specific behavior and biology of Western Australia’s most destructive invasive species. Our operations are designed to protect livestock, safeguard infrastructure, and allow native ecosystems to recover.
Our Technical Specialties:
- Wild Dog & Dingo-Hybrid Control: Professional ground-shooting and trapping programs designed for the protection of small-stock and calves. We understand the strategic importance of protecting the “Sheep-Line” and maintaining biosecurity boundaries.
- Feral Pig Eradication: Large-scale removal and exclusion strategies to prevent soil erosion, water contamination, and crop destruction.
- Feral Camel & Large Herbivore Management: Specialized remote-access operations for the management of large herbivores that threaten station water infrastructure and fragile desert vegetation.
- Fox & Feral Cat Mitigation: Precision programs targeting small predators to facilitate the return of native ground-nesting birds and endangered marsupials.
- Feral Goat Management: Targeted removal or muster-coordination to reduce overgrazing pressure on pastoral leases.
Strategic Approach
We don’t just “remove” animals; we manage impact. Every project begins with a reconnaissance phase to identify movement corridors and density hotspots, ensuring that every hour spent in the field delivers maximum value to the landholder and the region.
