Abstract
Problems associated with managing vertebrate invasive species,
defined as any exotic or native species that has spread beyond its
natural range, are remarkably common around the world. Although the
species may differ, the niches they fill and the damage they
generally cause is often consistent. As such, a possibility exists
for greater collaboration and harmonisation in developing new tools
to manage the impacts of invasive species. Moreover, the
considerable expense of developing new products, the often
onerous
registration process, and the lack of return on investment leading
to market failure has meant that progress within the field of
invasive animal management product development can sometimes be
stifled. This paper details a potential way forward using specific
examples of ways the Invasive Animals Cooperative Research Centre
(IA CRC), Pestat P/L, and other IA CRC commercial partners aim to
provide overseas organisations with humane non-lethal and lethal
wildlife management tools. Conversely, we detail
overseas-developed
products currently being tested in Australia, and a proposal to
keep abreast of new developments in other countries to ensure
invasive species management within Australasia remains of the
highest level. This can only be achieved through truly
collaborative research and the global harmonisation of registration
packages, so product development costs can be minimised and the
necessary scales of production can be attained.
