000169506 5203_ $$aThe feral goat, Capra hircus, is an important example of the feralisation of a domesticated species. The intentional abandonment of herds, escapes, rural depopulation and abandonment of livestock and traditional agriculture have led original domestic goats to freely occupy different habitats. The aim of this study was to review the current global knowledge of the feral goat, identify its gaps and provide insights into possible future research. The majority of publications focus on islands in the Mediterranean Basin and Oceania. The information is particularly encompassed in terms of population distribution, habitat use, monitoring methods, potential environmental impacts and management strategies. The feral goat is considered one of the 100 worst invasive species, especially on islands; thus, there are abundant studies supporting their eradication fundamentally due to their negative impact on vegetation. However, their role as a food supply for endangered fauna taxa is not sufficiently understood. Oceania is the main advocate for feral goat eradication, along with meat production exploitation. The most widespread management approach is eradication, notably favoured in insular ecosystems. There is still a lack of updated numerical data available on the efficacy of eradication interventions. The insights obtained from deeper research could benefit management and conservation decision-making.
