Yellow crazy ant containment within an intact savanna landscape

Yellow crazy ant management in NE Arnhem Land is the most successful ant eradication project in the world, so far eradicating 26 populations, and winning 3 national awards. This species is ranked globally among the worst invasive species. This work is not a “typical” exotic species land management operation, and is conducted by a specialised collaboration of organisations. Required federal funding is currently in a hiatus. Here we propose to continue our goal of containing this ant to prevent its spread throughout all of northern Australia. This goal is now approximately half achieved. Identical concurrent work is being funded by Rio Tinto Alcan Gove on its Gove mining leases.
