Top scientists demand NSW commit to brumby cull in Kosciuszko national park

Berejiklian government urged to acknowledge 'the extensive, serious and potentially irreparable damage' the horses are causing

Dozens of Australia's top scientists are demanding the New South Wales government repeal legislation that abandoned the culling of feral horses in the Kosciuszko national park.

In Canberra on Thursday 145 scientists met to hear evidence of the damage feral horses are causing to the park, the worst of which includes the destruction of nesting habitat of critically endangered corroboree frogs.
