When were cane toads introduced to Australia and why?
Ironically they were introduced to destroy a cane-beetle plague. But the beetles are living in cane, where the toads cannot reach them. Also, cane beetles are too small to serve as food, so the toads left the canefields and entered forrests and swamps where they eat anything they can swallow. So recently, they are a pest themselves.

However, the cane toad became an invasive species, leading to significant ecological disruptions and negative impacts on native wildlife.

Did cane toads do the job?
Cane toads were introduced to Australia in 1935 to control agricultural pests, particularly the cane beetle. However, they did not effectively control the pests and instead became an invasive species, causing significant ecological harm by outcompeting native species and poisoning predators. Their introduction has led to widespread negative impacts on biodiversity, making them largely unsuccessful in fulfilling their intended purpose.
