The term "rabbit plagues" in Australia refers to the severe ecological and agricultural issues caused by the rapid proliferation of European rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus) after their introduction to the continent in the late 18th century. Brought to Australia for sport hunting in the 1850s, rabbits adapted quickly to the local environment and became a significant pest, leading to widespread environmental damage.
