"Environment Minister Karl Hampton today invited all Australians to comment on a draft Feral Camel Action Plan that aims to manage the impact of feral camels in Australian rangelands. With camel numbers doubling every eight or nine years, the draft Plan is concerned primarily with the management control of feral camels and recognises that camels have a major economic, social and environmental cost. The draft Plan will measure and monitor the beneficial impacts of the camel removal program. It will also provide a platform for the ongoing and long-term management of feral camels, and partnerships and social capacities for camel management into the future.”
