Rabbits on the Edge: The Belonging of Pests in Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park

Authors

Abstract

Rabbits are invasive pests that are assumed not to belong in Australian national parks and the story is no different for Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park. Yet what if we think differently about this invasive pest? Instead, we might see their ability to adapt and thrive in new environments as a continuation of natural processes and something that is made possible by the actions of people.

Sarah is a more-than-human geographer whose research looks at the entangled relations between people and the environment.
