The KMT always supports the development of more strategic approaches to improving macropod management, and as it's issue that affects all Australian states it makes sense that we should all be working on this together.

Roos could be a commodity to farmers under proposed national plan
www.theland.com.au
A national kangaroo management plan could encourage farmers to integrating kangaroo harvesting into traditional farming systems, a draft proposal says.I agree ring lock fencing, has destroyed kangaroos migration and breeding, seen tens of thousands die in ring lock fencing and goat traps ,I'm a retired professional kangaroo Harvester of 15 years ,I was a kangaroo boner for 15 years before that ,see and heard all about it and see so many changes in the industry
Those farmers that arnt happy with $5 a roo, should go harvest there own.. Royalties only ever lead to trouble, seen it all before. Wanting Roos shot that arnt there, expecting the shooter to be out there on there property even if it’s unviable, just to get more royalties. Applying for tags that are available even if that Species numbers are low on the property and expecting the tags to be shot out. In principle it’s a great idea to give back to the landowners, but it always seems, the ones who expect a royalty always want more, happens all the time.
Bit late now all these fences have gone up I reckon.

On Australia’s Food Bowl last night Stefano met with local Aboriginal chefs who cooked Kangaroo rissoles, mash and snow peas. Kangaroo is a traditional food source for many Aboriginal people, particularly in inland regions. However these days they prepare and eat it using a wider range of ingredients and techniques than what was historically available! #aboriginalpeopleeatkangaroo

It comes in response to calls for a federal management strategy.Kangaroo number have mostly recovered to pre drought if it turned dry now we would have plagues again ,there is still no control to their grazing
Some animal rights activists claim that there are no kangaroos left because they drove from X to Y and didn't see any roos. Well, there's a couple of problems with that theory. Firstly, kangaroos don't like hanging around busy roads at the best of times and and secondly they are nocturnal, so unless you are travelling at night in a quiet area with a spotlight you'll only see a fraction of the roos that are out there.
This video demonstrates what time of the day roos are active, and it's not when activists are looking for them
The KMT applauds the ACT government for acting like responsible land managers. We would like to see a similar strategic approach in NSW where kangaroo populations are managed in terms of landscape carrying capacity in balance with domestic stock. #kangaroo #kangaroosarearesource

DO YOU HAVE TIME TO MAKE A QUICK SUBMISSION BY 16 JULY? The KMT is asking those of you who are interested in ensuring the future of kangaroo harvesting to please take a moment to click on the link below and make a submission on the new NSW 5 Year Harvest Plan by this Friday. We think the Plan is pretty good but as you can imagine the Australian Government would be receiving quite a lot of submissions from animal rights activists who want to stop kangaroo harvesting all together and we think it would be good to help the Australian Government understand that there are other perspectives out there. Please try and take a few minutes to make a submission by Friday 16 July.

These are kangaroos in a per-urban area and road trauma is their main risk. However, most kangaroos in NSW exist on vast tracts of pastoral and agricultural land and their main mortality risk is dying from starvation during droughts.
