Thank you for all your incredible work tackling Second-generation Anticoagulant Rodenticides (SGARs) over the last few years. I am excited to regroup with you all, and to reconnect the dots across our various groups, ahead of a big rodenticides milestone expected this July.
Can you make our SGAR Action Group workshop, online, on Wednesday 18th June – 6pm AEST / 4pm AWST?
The Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) have flagged a preliminary decision on their SGAR inquiry for July 2025. This will precede a period of public consultation regarding the decision on if and how to regulate SGARs in Australia. So now is a perfect time to ensure we can unite a single, national, powerful message again.
BirdLife Australia recently organised over 280 experts to sign an Open Letter, which we delivered to the APVMA and relevant ministers, to show that this issue has strong evidence backing regulations. We are also collecting evidence to take to the Environment Department, as well as updating our various brochures and tools, to help ensure our materials are up to date.
And we are sure all of our long-term owl-friendly champions will have equally exciting updates – for example, why else would over 50 local councils now be owl-friendly?
So now is a perfect time to regroup, and coordinate how best to support one another.
