	Landline - 7/10/01: Wild Goose Chase . Australian Broadcasting Corp
		"Well the islands around Flinders are critical for Cape Barren geese breeding habitat, all up they comprise something approaching 60 percent of the breeding habitat for the goose in the wild in the world, so their management and protection is absolutely essential there," scientist Greg Hocking said.
		"It's estimated that four Cape Barren geese will eat the equivalent of what one sheep will eat and in addition to that you've got the other problem of fouling the pasture with their droppings and also of waterholes which makes the water unpalatable for stock to drink," Greg said.
		Cape Barren goose may not meet to everyone's taste, but the wild egg harvest is an innovative method of wildlife control.
