This document summarizes the findings of surveys conducted with 222 Aboriginal community members across remote Australia about their views on feral camels. The surveys were conducted in local Aboriginal languages using iPads by Aboriginal community researchers. They found that community members have been dealing with impacts from feral camels for 4 or more years near their communities. The main impacts reported were damage to water infrastructure, cultural sites, and food sources as well as safety issues with aggressive male camels. When asked about future management, the most supported options were commercial harvesting and culling of feral camels.
