People and the Kangaroo Harvest in the South Australian Rangelands

This study has addressed a need for better understanding of social and institutional issues that impact on kangaroo management and the kangaroo industry in South Australia. These issues constrain industry development and efficient management of kangaroo populations. The study focuses on the interactions between producers (landholders and commercial kangaroo harvesters) and wholesalers (meat processors) in the kangaroo supply chain, their interface with the kangaroo management system administered by the South Australian Government, and perspectives of Aboriginal people on the industry.
