A world-first conservation project on Browse Island, 450km off Broome, is helping seabirds reclaim their home.
Once overrun by invasive mice, the island is now seeing a remarkable comeback with around 20,000 seabirds visiting since 2018!
Thanks to a specially designed drone that spread over 266,500 bait pellets, invasive mice that were stopping birds from nesting are being tackled.

Coercive control is family and domestic violence. It’s a pattern of abusive behaviours designed to take away someone’s freedom and independence. These behaviours can be subtle and hard to spot but they cause serious and lasting harm.
It can involve someone:
• monitoring someone’s online activity
• isolating them from loved ones
• love bombing them
• controlling their choices and appearance.
