Hooray for Valerie the daschshund, who went missing for 529 days on Kangaroo Island, off the coast of South Australia, but was rescued last Friday. Here's NBC's story on how the crew at Kangala Wildlife Rescue lured the sausage dog out of the wilderness with a scent trail made from Valerie's toys and her owner's shirt.

Experts ‘amazed’ at survival of Valerie the miniature dachshund – on the run on South Australian island for more than a year

Dogs are being unleashed on #KangarooIsland Dudley Peninsula to get rid of #feralcats, which kill native wildlife and spread diseases in sheep. They're the latest tool in one of the world's most ambitious and high tech feral cat eradication programs. Only a couple of hundred cats left it's hoped an attack on all fronts this year could almost wipe them out. #evasivespecies #eradication #SouthAustralia

A wildlife ranger says the discovery of a #beached #whale on #SouthAustralia's #KangarooIsland is a "peculiar" occurrence.
The National Parks & Wildlife Service South Australia ranger told ABC Radio on Monday the creature, discovered at #AmericanRiver on the eastern end of the island, "appeared to be a #beakedwhale of some sort".
He added it was rare for the deep-sea animal to turn up where it did, but was likely the result of a "natural process". #auspol

Listen to ABC SA Country Hour interview with Peter Hamnett of @GlobEcoFlinders about the largest island eradication of #feral #pigs in history — #KangarooIsland
Associated paper published in Ecosphere available here: http://doi.org/10.1002/ecs2.70082
"During the horror 2019-2020 Black Summer bushfires, which tore across more than half of the island, destroying countless native animals and protected plant species, it's believed feral population #pig numbers were also reduced by an astonishing 90 per cent —an unexpected but welcomed outcome"
Some black & white shots of the western region of #KangarooIsland immediately after the #BlackSummer #bushfires of 2019-2020
Interesting. One of the most remarkable eradications of a feral species from an island in history, and the collective response from the media is ... meh
Consider that Kangaroo Island — Australia's 3rd largest at 4430 km2 — is just over half the size of Corsica
