NSW government is ramping up the removal of feral horses from the alpine environment with a controversial technique.

More feral horses have been removed from Kosciuszko National Park in the past year, during which aerial shooting was approved, than in the previous 21 years.

Brumby advocates argue the government population figures are far too high and their environmental impacts are overstated. Many people also oppose aerial culling on animal welfare grounds.While other techniques are still being used to reduce horse numbers in the park, aerial shooting by National Parks and Wildlife Service employees has been responsible for culling 5539 horses since late last year.
