Overview
One of Christmas Island's most ecologically distinct and significant characteristics is its land crabs. Each year, at the beginning of the wet season, most adult red crabs begin a remarkable migration from the forests to the coast to breed. During the peak migration periods, it's possible to walk among a moving sea of tens of thousands of crabs. Unfortunately, hundreds of thousands of red crabs can be killed annually during their breeding migration by vehicles. In cooperation with key stakeholders and the community, Parks Australia implements a range of mitigation measures to significantly reduce red crab mortality rates. The most effective and efficient approach is to close certain roads during peak migration periods, particularly those within the national park. The community on Christmas Island is saving the lives of thousands of crabs annually and helping to maintain the ecosystem services they perform.
