Appendix C Database on past NHT funded projects A database <strong>of</strong> NHT funded <strong>feral</strong> animal control projects for biodiversity conservation within <strong>the</strong> rangel<strong>and</strong>s accompanies this report. Where <strong>the</strong> information has been provided, <strong>the</strong> projects within this database have be labelled with key search words so <strong>the</strong>y can be sorted by project code, state, NHT region, <strong>feral</strong> animal species <strong>and</strong> control technique. The lack <strong>of</strong> information provided for many projects made this task somewhat difficult <strong>and</strong> it is recommended that more detailed project descriptions be entered on <strong>the</strong> DEH database in <strong>the</strong> future to enable more effective data searches. The projects that have been or are being undertaken on <strong>feral</strong> <strong>animals</strong> in <strong>the</strong> rangel<strong>and</strong>s are listed below. Please refer to <strong>the</strong> full database for more details.
