> efforts to limit animal populations in Australia that led to explosions of other animal populations

This is a pretty odd way of referring to attempts to intentionally introduce foreign animals into ecosystems where they have no natural predators, with predictable results (rabbits, foxes, cane toads etc).



Yeah, the cane toads were introduced to control beetles (I thought it was the case for the other animals but it's not)
