澳大利亚新南威尔士州尤雷吉尔国家公园的野生马管理引发法律纠纷。野生马倡导者于8月底向法院提起诉讼，质疑国家公园和野生动物服务机构射杀野生马的法律权限1。新南威尔士州土地与环保法院已暂停相关行动，并将于9月9日进行最终听证1。
国家公园和野生动物服务机构采用空中射击、地面射击和捕捉等多种方式管理野生马1。野生马踩踏和啃食植被，压实土壤，侵蚀溪岸，扰乱脆弱的湿地生态系统1。尤雷吉尔国家公园位于新南威尔士州北部沿海的雅格尔和古姆拜恩吉尔领地上，公园内栖息着青金色钟蛙、沃卢姆蛙蜍和奥隆布拉蛙等濒危物种1，这些物种的栖息地正面临野生马的直接威胁。类似的管理方法已在科苏斯基国家公园进行，该公园自2023年晚期重新实施空中射击后已清除数千匹野生马1。
A legal dispute has erupted over the management of feral horses in Yuraygir National Park in northern coastal New South Wales, with advocates for the animals filing an emergency lawsuit in late August to challenge the authority of the National Parks and Wildlife Service to shoot the horses.1 The New South Wales Land and Environment Court has suspended related actions pending a final hearing scheduled for September 9.1
The controversy centers on the ecological impact of the feral horse population in the park, located on Yaygir and Gumbaynggirr Country.1 The horses cause significant damage to the fragile wetland ecosystem through trampling vegetation, compacting soil, eroding stream banks, and disrupting wetland habitats.1 These activities threaten the survival of endangered species within the park, including the azure bell frog, Wollumbin corroboree frog, and Olongburra frog.1 The National Parks and Wildlife Service has employed aerial shooting, ground shooting, and trapping methods to manage the feral horse population.1 Kosciuszko National Park removed thousands of feral horses following the reintroduction of aerial shooting in late 2023.1
