ACT Government inquiry into Common Mynas

[sandra henderson via Canberrabirds <>]

Apologies if this has already been noted on this site, but the report of the ACT Government's inquiry into the Common Myna was released last week (and is profoundly disappointing in my view.) I would urge members to have a look at the report.

The recommendations in the report are:

  Recommendation 1.  The Committee recommends that the ACT Government recognise the ongoing efforts of CIMAG to control the Common myna population.   

  Recommendation 2. The Committee recommends that the ACT Government recognise the significant concern by the community regarding the threat to our ACT biodiversity as a result of the presence of the Common myna.

  Recommendation 3. The Committee recommends that the ACT Government continue to monitor the impact of Common mynas on ACT biodiversity.   

  Recommendation 4. The Committee recommends that the ACT Government support community-led initiatives to educate the community and control Common myna population.
