Introduced species are considerably dangerous to the delicate ecosystem that is the Victorian Alps. Red foxes are the fourth most common species found in the area due to the abundance of other introduced species such as rabbit and hare. Brumbies/wild Australian horses are also a major pest in the Victorian High Plains. The horse's hard hooves trample the local flora, because of this the Victorian Government has extended efforts to cull the wild horses from the national park. However, Initiatives to block the culling of Brumbies claiming they are national icons gained traction in May 2020, seeing the 2020 seasonal cull being put on hold. A supreme court injunction lead by Phillip Maguire has caused this halting of the cull, as petitions on Change.org, lead by OCEAN LEGAL have gathered over 100,000 signatures in support of preventing the cull.
