ABC Online, Other, 18/02/2021, Mark Rigby

As recently as 2015, feral pigs were wiping out entire generations of turtles on kilometres of beaches south of Aurukun. […] For the past six years, CSIRO scientists and Indigenous rangers have teamed up to monitor turtle nesting sites and manage feral pig populations in the area.
