# Read of attempts to rid seabird islands of aliens in the islandNet Newsletter

The latest issue of the *islandNet Newsletter* (No. 7, August 2011) carries a number of interesting stories over 26 pages that deal with the eradication of alien species on seabird islands around the World, including at Australia's sub-Antarctic Macquarie Island and on islands in the South Atlantic where ACAP-listed species of albatrosses and petrels breed. Go to [http://www.feral.org.au/islandnet/newsletter](http://www.feral.org.au/islandnet/newsletter) to read this and earlier issues.  The final newsletter will be due out in February 2012.  If you would like to contribute to it, contact Elaine Murphy ([emurphy@doc.govt.nz](mailto:emurphy@doc.govt.nz)) or Wendy Henderson ([wendy.henderson@invasiveanimals.com](mailto:wendy.henderson@invasiveanimals.com)).
