Join VERMIN online as they continue the cane toad leather journey on the tropical islands of the Torres Strait, an Indigenous community on the northern tip of Cape York peninsula, one of the many communities affected by this introduced species.
VERMIN duo Lia Tabrah and Perina Drummond will be guided by collaborator, Josh McLean from The Bush Tannery to explore the world of natural tanning and traditional techniques to transform these toxic invaders into a luxury textile.
The alarming cane toad population on Thursday Island is a major environmental risk to Torres Strait's biodiversity and native plant species.
We speak with local community members, organisations in the toad infested parts of the country to learn more of the projects on ground currently in the fight of removing cane toads from our environment.
