Using natural landscapes as pest control!

From Afternoons, 1:20 pm on 6 September 2022

Natural landscapes could play their part in helping to eradicate pests that are threatening alpine ecosystems.

The idea is that high-elevation landforms limit the movement of invasive small mammal species, as long as there is work done at lower altitudes.
