It just makes sense to eat bush food from species that thrive and flourish in our local environments.

Geraldton’s newest restaurant will be opening its doors next week, with a strong Australian bush flavour on its menu.Apparently, this video of a Queensland golfer being mobbed by kangaroos was the most viral video of 2021 with a staggering 2.9 billion views! #kangaroo
‘Kangaroo Girl’ golf video is the most viral of 2021
www.thechronicle.com.au
Footage of a Gold Coast golfer being mobbed by kangaroos is being acclaimed as the most viral video of 2021, with a staggering 2.9 billion views worldwide.This story is basically a (albeit simplistic) microcosm of macropod management issues that occur all over Australia. When their numbers are out of balance with the landscape, kangaroos suffer greatly - and in the recent drought it is estimated that more than 15 million kangaroos may have starved to death in Australia. In small, contained situations like this there is potential to use birth control or other measures to try and bring their numbers back into balance - but in the large rangeland landscapes that cover 75% of Australia, and where most kangaroos reside, this is simply not possible. The KMT strongly supports the idea of forming a national kangaroo taskforce to address the myriad, complex issues that make up the very wicked problem of kangaroo management in Australia. #kangaroo www.nbnnews.com.au/2022/01/05/look-at-me-now-headland-kangaroos-still-suffering-from-ill-health/
LOOK-AT-ME-NOW HEADLAND KANGAROOS STILL SUFFERING FROM ILL HEALTH | NBN News
www.nbnnews.com.au
University of Sydney researchers have returned to Emerald Beach to assess the beleaguered kangaroos on Look-at-me-Now Headland. Sadly, the marsupials' health isn't improving.
Even though the KMT understands the community concerns about these kangaroos and applauds them for their passion, the science shows that most kangaroos do not do well when re-located and will perish and die within a short period of time. Unfortunately, we live in managed environments and when development decisions impact wildlife it needs to be factored into decisions. At the same time this is not a species that is at any risk of extinction, and spending $250k on an activity which is doomed, and will likely cause the animals far more stress than humane shooting, well it just doesn't make any sense. Are they consulting macropod experts on this matter?

Funding plea to save kangaroos

The City of Canning wants the State Government to provide $250,000 as part of a land aquisition deal with the State Government.
A happy story for our first FB post of the year.....
The KMT hopes everyone had a Cool Yule and sends our best wishes for a healthy, happy and prosperous 2022 - hopefully this is a year that will see COVID fade into a crazy 2-year blip in our history......

Should we eat our national animal?
www.canberratimes.com.au
Kangaroos are an Aussie emblem, but they're also a source of sustainable, native red meat.Chillers everywhere around the ACT. why can’t us commercial harvesters manage them instead of them being put in a hole to rot ?
Yes, ofcourse we should eat them, why waste top quality meat.
Absolutely, yes!
FFS!
Mr Pearson, you are wrong. NSW does not allow skin-only harvesting of kangaroos. @kangaroo @kangaroosasaresource🦘🚨 JOIN US ON SATURDAY 18 DECEMBER 🚨🦘
You probably know I love a good protest, so I'm excited to share that the AJP has joined forces with 15 other organisations to hold protests at NIKE's Australian stores in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
NIKE is the biggest buyer of kangaroo leather, using their skin for soccer and football boots.
In NSW alone, over 40,000 kangaroos are killed every month (even during Covid lockdown) solely for this commercial purpose.
Every night, mothers are shot down and their shocked joeys are either stomped or bludgeoned to death, or left to die.
This nightly horror is being driven by huge profits in kangaroo leather, which NIKE is turning into soccer shoes.
We need to end the profit-driven mass slaughter of our iconic kangaroos because they deserve better. NIKE, stop using 'roos for shoes.
Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane: please join us on Saturday, December 18. I'll be speaking at the Sydney event and hope to see you all there.

Now THIS is something to get excited about! 75% of Australia is rangelands presenting an enormous opportunity for carbon sequestration. The main tool for sustaining and regenerating those native grasslands is through grazing management and kangaroos are a huge (and largely unmanaged) part of the grazing system! The KMT looks forward to watching this project develop and finding ways to reward our pastoralists for improved management of our amazing rangelands. #kangaroo #grazingmanagement #rangelands

A $6.5million collaboration led by AACo and Food Agility Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) aims to revolutionise how rangeland farmers measure, manage and trade carbon.Apply for the small business fees and charges rebate | Service NSW

When this happens, it's usually because the owner only shared it with a small group of people, changed who can see it or it's been deleted.
Two reasons we are sharing this story on our page.
(1) to demonstrate, yet again, that unlike many other native animals some kangaroo species have an incredible ability to thrive despite massive changes to their traditional habitat and
(2) making decisions about what to DO with those kangaroos when they become out of balance with landscapes, or the landscape use changes, is an ongoing issue across all types of ecosystems and environments, whether they be small peri-urban environments or vast native rangelands.
These are things the KMT has been saying for many years now, and this is WHY we believe we need to sit down as a country and figure out what we are going to do about our national icon!
