Rio Tinto Funds A$28m Toad Containment Zone in Australia

• Rio Tinto is funding a A$28m project to protect the Pilbara region from cane toads.
• The project involves creating a containment zone, or 'toad containment zone', in Western Australia.
• The initiative aims to halt the invasive species from reaching the Pilbara region.
• The containment zone is being built as a 'firebreak' to stop the toads' march across Australia.
• The project is a joint effort to protect the local ecosystem and agriculture from the harmful effects of cane toads.
