摘要

The challenge of maintaining biodiversity by managing overabundant native fauna is often a contentious issue. This study demonstrates a means of improving animal welfare in the culling of overabundant kangaroos. We studied five populations of Eastern Grey Kangaroo (Macropus giganteus) in the Australian Capital Territory and established the percentage of juveniles throughout the year. We focused on juveniles aged 8-12 months old, as these are identified at greatest risk of poor welfare outcomes if orphaned. Our findings support the timing of culls when the fewest vulnerable juveniles are present in the population. This paper provides a scientific basis for land managers to adjust the timing of kangaroo management activities to best balance animal welfare, land management and conservation objectives.
