Support the campaign to Reclaim Kosci
In the wrong place feral horses are highly destructive animals. They destroy alpine habitat, stomp fragile waterways and threaten native wildlife. They belong in a paddock, not our iconic Kosciuszko National Park.
Scientific advice says we must urgently reduce the number of feral horses in Kosciuszko National Park. Please donate and help make us a strong voice for Kosci.

Reclaim Kosci represents a broad consortium of individuals and organisations that love Kosciuszko National Park and seek to protect it from the impacts of feral horses.
Reclaim Kosci respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land on which we live, work and learn. We pay respect to elders past, present and future, and recognise the continuing connection of Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander peoples to the land, water and culture.
It’s not just Kosci, we need to save many other places too. Habitats are shrinking and impacting on our species diversity.
Great work
Keep up the good work. We will never give up.
I am a member of the Australian Native Plant Society and I have learnt of the incredible diversity of our native plants from the many experienced members of this society. I have also learnt how vulnerable many species are, having adapted to one particular environment. This alpine area is so rare in Australia, and the plants are especially adapted to live in the habitat niches they have found. The hard hooved horses with large appetites are a disaster for this delicate environment.
The brumbies do not belong where they destroy the plants that provide food and shelter for special native animals.
Please protect our unique natural environment by removing the destructive feral horses.
Our environment is precious. Save the Snowy Mountains from the damage the wild horses cause with their trampling, weed-spreading, stream destroying behaviour and the threat they are causing to the already precarious survival of the original fauna and flora.
Preserve this valuable wilderness.
Time for all governments and public bodies to ensure that decisions being made are sensitive to the environment first and centre else we’ll have concrete and tar everywhere.
Keep the pressure on Mr Barilaro and also the Premier of NSW for enabling and allowing the “Wild Horses Heritage Bill” to be facilitated through NSW Parliament. The premier should have stopped this Bill and she has remained out of the discussion of this issue.
The K National park is a valuable space for native flora and fauna and more so now with extreme weather events affecting the survivability of the native species, its certainly not a place for ferals.
This unique area is special for the flora and fauna found nowhere else,. Some of which is rare and on the brink of extinction, but the area also has significant cultural value for the Aboriginal people who have called this place home for a very long time.
It is time to remove feral horses which do not belong here and give all the locals, be they animals, plants or people a chance to enjoy and protect this special environment
Unfortunately the work you are doing keeping this issue at the forefront of people’s minds is vital – thankyou.
Thanks so much for all you do
I’ve never camped in a noisier place than just below Kosci. All night, the sounds of life around, wings flapping, insects chirping (or jumping into my tent fly), something calling (birds? bats? who knows!). Not another person for miles that day. A terrible night’s sleep, but an amazing place. Must be protected.
