Australia will cull over 1,900 kangaroos from Monday across the Australian Capital Territory in a bid to reduce its population. Here's why
10 reserves across the territory will be closed each evening to allow the culling of up to 1,991 animals, ABC news reported.
"We know for a fact that over-abundant numbers of eastern grey kangaroos can have a devastating impact on the local environment," an ACT official said.
"It can lead to de-vegetation and the complete degradation of certain areas if we let it go too long. This is not about eradication, this is about sustainable numbers of eastern grey kangaroos," he added.
A trial is currently underway to test the usefulness of fertility drugs as an alternative method of controlling kangaroo populations.

The kill is expected to conclude by August 1.
Almost 4000 kangaroos have been killed over the past two years as part of the ACTs annual cull.
Animal rights activists opposing plans to shoot the kangaroos are keeping close guard over some wildlife parks to try and foil the attempt.
An official said they had explored many options since 1998 to control kangaroo populations, including contraceptive implants, herding and relocation, but those measures had not been effective.
