4 Australian white ibis friend or foe Natural habitat wetlands Hundreds to thousands in one colony Nests between July and March Breeding pair usually produce one or two young per year Naturally semi-nomadic
5 Australian white ibis friend or foe Qantas estimated that a 1995 Airbus A300 bird strike involving a 2 kg ibis at Gold Coast Airport cost the company $8 million. This included engine replacement, downtime and schedule changes (Learmount 2007).
6 Australian white ibis friend or foe
7 Australian white ibis friend or foe Populations will grow exponentially until a limiting resource is exhausted. Average population growth rate of 1.5% results in doubling population in approximately 50 years. Without ongoing management the Gold/Tweed Coast ibis population would have continued to increase. 1996/97 population (3,755) ibis to 5,060 in 1997/98. Source: Pierre Sutherland -

35 Leadership We proudly claim the ibis program to be one of the most successful wildlife management programs of its kind in the world. I put that down to a consensus based approach involving all relevant stakeholders, and to sheer persistence. It s not easy keeping things like this going for 19 years...you need to bring people along for the ride so that they become part of the solution, not add to the problem.
