15th Australasian Vertebrate Pest Conference

"Security from the impact of vertebrate pest animals"

Welcome

The Australasian Vertebrate Pest Conference is a not-for-profit event held every three years to bring together researchers, managers, students and policy makers dealing with pest animals.

In 2011 the 15th meeting was held at the spectacular Dockside Convention Centre, Cockle Bay Wharf, Sydney, Australia. The meeting was convened by the multigovernment Vertebrate Pests Committee and hosted by the Invasive Animals Cooperative Research Centre and the New South Wales Department of Industry and Investment.

New tools and methodologies were discussed as well as the vital community aspects of pest animal control. Animal welfare and community attitudes to human-wildlife conflicts were explored. It was a very successful event with over 350 delegates attending
