Fortescue said it has removed second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides from its operations to reduce risks to native wildlife while continuing rodent control at its sites. The company said the change was made in August 2025 after environmental reviews found these rodenticides could harm threatened species, including the Northern Quoll. Fortescue said it has moved to alternatives such as first-generation baits, which it said break down more quickly. Rosli Wheelock said the change was implemented at no extra cost and without affecting on-site rodent control.
