flag Rabbit numbers in Australia are surging due to rain and lack of new biocontrol, risking $250M in farm losses and ecological harm.

flag Rabbit populations in Australia are rising sharply due to two years of steady rainfall boosting vegetation and enabling frequent breeding. flag Unlike past outbreaks, no new viral biocontrol is available, as funding for research ended in 2022 and 2025, leaving a critical gap in long-term management. flag Without a new virus, scientists warn of escalating ecological damage, soil erosion, and $250 million in annual agricultural losses. flag A current $1.5 million federal funding commitment will expire in June 2026 with no new funding secured, and experts stress that sustained investment is essential for future biocontrol development.
