flag New South Wales repealed laws protecting brumbies in Kosciuszko National Park to restore the ecosystem, allowing science-based management.

flag New South Wales has passed legislation to repeal the Kosciuszko Wild Horse Heritage Act, ending special protections for brumbies in Kosciuszko National Park. flag The law, enacted in 2018, was criticized for prioritizing feral horses over native species and ecosystems, contributing to environmental damage. flag The brumby population, which once reached 17,000 to 21,700, has been reduced to 1,579 to 5,639 through culling. flag The repeal, backed by cross-party support, allows for science-based management through sterilization and rehoming. flag Environmental groups, scientists, and Traditional Owners welcomed the move as essential to restoring the park’s fragile alpine environment.
