and, the Feral Animal Crowd-Map: http://feralmonth.crowdmap.com


ABC Rural wants news of feral animals on your farm and in your community. 

Contribute to an understanding of feral animals and their spread by 
adding your sightings to our national map during January.

Feral Month is an experiment in 'citizen science' where we ask you the 
audience to report any feral animal sightings across the country during 
the month of January.

Whether you have spotted feral camels in Oodnadatta, cane toads in 
Townsville, or wild dogs in paddocks we want to know about it.

Take your camera out with you and add a photo to your report if you can 
get one then go to the map to see what feral animals have been spotted in 
your area. 

You can submit your reports via SMS, email, online form or twitter.

* SMS your report to 0459353323 and make sure you include your exact
  location and what you saw

* Email to feralmonth at your.abc.net.au

* Twitter your report using the hashtag #feralmonth and make sure you
  mention the exact location and type of animal

* Use the online form at the Feral Month map.

ABC Radio will be reporting back on the sightings in your area and this 
information will go to help the Invasive Animals CRC and others 
researching the spread of feral animals in Australia.
