In 2023, drone surveys by Manx Wildlife Trust identified 568 feral wallabies in Ballaugh Curragh, a protected marshland area on the Isle of Man.

Just two years later, the population had grown to 1,000 to 1,300, according to estimates from the local conservation charity.

That’s a lot of wallabies for a small island. I know some people think they are cute, and want to keep them around, but invasive species hurt the environment.
