Nicolas documented the event for Watergum, capturing the volunteers, the work in the field and the community effort behind one of the country’s largest citizen science initiatives.
The Great Cane Toad Bust is Australia’s biggest toad-busting event, an annual week-long effort coordinated by Watergum, the Gold Coast community conservation organisation. It mobilises families, schools, landholders and local groups to humanely remove cane toads, one of Australia’s most damaging invasive species, pairing tadpole trapping by day with toad busting by night.
