An incursion of feral horses from Kosciuszko is presenting an increasing threat to Namadgi National Park, with the ACT government urging NSW to uphold its duty to protect endangered ecosystems.
ACT Parks' report of a recent Brumby sighting at the NSW border follows the release of aerial data revealing feral horse numbers had spiked by 30 per cent in Kosciuszko in two years. More than 18,800 feral horses were sighted in three surveyed areas in NSW last November, up from 14,380 in 2020, the highest density in the region closest to the ACT.
