Aliens Among Us - Red fire ants are on the march in Australia

Earlier this year, red fire ants were detected in the precious environments of Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island) for the very first time. These highly invasive and dangerous ants were first found in Australia in 2001. A large outbreak in southeast Queensland remains active and is still subject to a major eradication effort. But if we fail to get on top of red fire ants, modelling shows they will spread to every corner of Australia. Our way of life will be changed forever.

In this Aliens Among Us webinar, our expert panel talks with Sarah Corcoran who has been up close and personal with red fire ants and knows what’s at stake if fire ants swarm Australia. Joining the panel is our guest Eli Perry from the Quandamooka Yoolooburrabee Aboriginal Corporation.
