Future Prospects



 http://www.liswa.wa.gov.au/wepon/land/html/rabbits.html
The future for the Great Victoria Desert looks very good, especially considering the fates of other ecoregions throughout the world.  The desert will always be a very harsh environment, which naturally keeps away negative human consequences.  The nuclear testing has been finished for decades and the radiation produced will eventually wear off, so in terms of contamination, everything will only get better.  The feral animals, on the other hand, are much harder to handle.  Australia has already taken measures against these animals by building fences and such.  However, in areas such as the Great Victoria Desert where there is little human to watch for the problem, these animals could easily get out of hand.  Currently, the threat of these animals are not too pronounced but if not closely watched over, it is very possible for these animals to completely drive away the vulnerable native wildlife.
