In the Australian Capital Territory during 2023, the government authorised the killing of more than 12,000 eastern grey kangaroos on rural land. These licences are granted too easily, with little requirement to prove damage or to try non-lethal alternatives first. Without reform, lethal control will remain the default response to human–wildlife conflict, leaving kangaroos to suffer and ecosystems to decline. Help us call for stronger protections for wildlife in the Australian Capital Territory.Â
