An former NSW park ranger has seen starving brumbies and destroyed vegetation in Kosciuszko National Park after a law was passed to protect the wild horses.

There are fears Kosciuszko National Park within the iconic Snowy Mountains is being “carved away” by wild horses recently protected by the NSW government.

Much of the vegetation across the national park has been crushed, streams that used to be clear are now muddied and hoof marks from brumbies are “everywhere”.

That’s what former park ranger Kim de Govrik saw when he visited Kosciuszko National Park months after the a controversial law was passed protecting the heritage value of the wild horse populations in the park.
