TOXIC TERRITORIES

A searchable public accountability map tracking where 1080 baiting operations are listed across NSW.

What is 1080?

A Lethal & Indiscriminate Threat

Sodium fluoroacetate, commonly known as 1080, is a lethal poison deployed across NSW parks, reserves, public lands and private landscapes to kill animals deemed ‘pests’. It is a colourless, odourless, and water-soluble toxin that causes a slow, agonising death — and it does not discriminate.

Colourless.
Odourless.
Lethal.

1080 does not discriminate, putting native animals like quolls and dingoes, companion animals, and other non-target species at risk alongside its intended targets.

Keep the 1080 Watch Map Alive

The government does not provide a single, searchable public register of 1080 baiting operations. So we built one.

Every month, we collect public baiting alerts, check source links, clean the data, update the interactive map, publish a monthly snapshot and help supporters ask responsible offices what protections are in place for animals.
