During the colonisation of Australia many animals species were introduced to the country for numerous reasons, and many have since begun damaging the environment and economy. From the largest population of wild camels in the world to domestic pets gone wild, we’ve discovered Australia’s most invasive species.
While they may be correct with some there are others they are having destroyed -it is their manual that govts and parks are using to destroy our brumbies and bees Their misinformation is fundamentally flawed and because it is more beautiful animals are being slaughtered as we speak- Parks diabolical policies are being justified by the ignorance of those driving the narrative at the Invasive Species crew.
Introduced to Australia in 1788 aboard the First Fleet from Europe, horses were transported across for farm and utility work by the settlers. The long sea journey to Australia saw the loss of many horses, meaning those that made it to Australia were healthy and strong, which consequently helped them to flourish. Since the 1800s the bush name ‘Brumby’ or ‘Brumbies’ was used to name these ‘wild’ horses, and has since become the known name of free-roaming feral horses. Today they are mostly found in Queensland and the Northern Territory, damaging vegetation and causing erosion as they graze for food. (Invasive Species mob)

introduced over 180 years ago to pollinate the plants that early settlers used for food, European Honey Bees have become an aggressive species. They are an increasing threat to Australia’s native fauna – including the black cockatoo, small parrots, Sacred Kingfisher, and many small mammals like bats and possums – as they compete against them for dwelling hollows in trees, usually winning by stinging or swarming them. The bees are a particular nuisance in summer, and it has been found that about 3% of Australians are allergic to honey bee venom, which is said to kill up to two Australians every year.

honeybee, (tribe Apini), also spelled honey bee, any of a group of insects in the family Apidae (order Hymenoptera) that in a broad sense includes all bees that make honey. In a stricter sense, honeybee applies to any one of seven members of the genus Apis—and usually only the single species, Apis mellifera, the domestic honeybee. This species is also called the European honeybee or the western honeybee.

All honeybees are social insects and live together in nests or hives. The honeybee is remarkable for the dancing movements it performs in the hive to communicate information to its fellow bees about the location, distance, size, and quality of a particular food source in the surrounding area.
