Series: Cats management on small islands

Episode 2 : Soft technics to limit and control their presence

April 18th

The proliferation of cats and their negative effects on biodiversity require inhabitants and politicians to take certain measures. Different solutions and tolls exist to fight these hunters and their impacts, while keeping them close to the populations. In this episode, we will look at different “soft” techniques, such as trapping, sterilisation and relocation to the mainland. We will look at the details of implementing these techniques to maximise the chances of success.
