To maintain the relatively good conservation status of the
Great Victoria Desert, the Australian government and the native people need to
maintain the conservation of the desert lands.
If possible, the government should declare even more of the desert as
conservation regions, which would limit the possibility of agriculture and pastoral
development should such a situation arise.
At the very least, leaving the desert alone should be sufficient since
its harsh climate can protect itself fairly well.
To handle the invasive animals, there first must
be some effort to research their patterns as they move across the desert. With more information, it can be possible to
pinpoint the areas where these animals are causing the most trouble and
possibly confine them to this one region to keep them from spreading. The fences previously built could work however more natural 'barriers' should be researched and implemented. What should not be done is to introduce even
more non-native species to the environment.
This will just cause a never ending chain of introducing invasive
species to attempt to control the previous invasive species.
