Beware of Drop Bears Signage - 'Slow Down, Koalas on Road'. Stay safe, social media folk. Meta-marsupials are on the move, footloose, and fancy free. #koalas #dropbears

"The koala population
in the Burbank bushland (south-east Queensland) ...has suffered massive losses in the past 20-30 years.""...Those little ones cross roads, walk into backyards with dogs or trip into swimming pools … we've had all of those types of koalas rescued..."
Strapping tracking collars around their necks and buzzing the marsupial with thermal drones will now help monitor the sprawling urbanisation, cars and dogs?

Man's best friend - First eradicate the Neanderthals, then biodiversity
Humans and their dogs drove our evolutionary cousins Neanderthals to extinction
"Early dogs, bred from wolves, played a critical role in the modern human’s takeover of Europe 40,000 years ago when we vanquished the Neanderthal locals. The Neanderthals, who had lived there for more than 200,000 years. However, within a few thousand years of our arrival, they disappeared...Humans and hunting dogs were, and still are, a deadly combination." >>

Biodiversity under the wheels near Repton
"ANGELA Wallace is one of many people upset about the number of koalas being killed on local roads....Little has been done to mitigate these deaths, with another koala recently killed near Repton. “No wonder our iconic koala (dunggirr) is endangered with our roads as ‘killing zones’, deforestation [causing a] loss of habitat, and them trying to survive extreme weather events such as fires and floods.”
"She pointed out that where the koala died, the wildlife fence nearby was thickly overgrown with lantana and a nearby underpass was almost impenetrable due to a mass of lantana."
If an injured, sick or orphaned native animal is found, WIRES can be contacted on 1300 094 737.

Magen-Darm-Erkrankung: Drei Koalas im Duisburger Zoo gestorben -
‘Minds were blown’: These scientists were stunned at what’s happening on the NSW North Coast
“This means Forestry Corporation NSW plans to log three times more compartments of state forest within the proposed Great Koala National Park over the next year than they did over the last two years combined"
“It is spectacular. All the variants of this Gondwana rainforest – cool and warm, temperate rainforest and also the subtropical rainforest – is something that is so unique globally that you wouldn’t find it in this particular combination elsewhere... Professor Helge Bruelheide, professor of botany at the University of Helle in Germany, was stunned by what he has seen exploring the forests in and around the promised Great Koala National Park on the state’s North Coast this week."
“The tempo, the scale, the intensity of logging has all ramped up since labour was elected. It is a pillage. It’s a smash-and-grab operation by a loss-making Crown corporation. They are jamming boiled lollies in their mouth as they bolt down the street,” say Graham, who feels let down by Labor."
"One of the reasons the Victorian industry was eventually closed was because citizen scientists proved the state loggers were not properly protecting greater gliders. The failures cost VicForests millions of dollars in fines and access to forests it needed."
"As the legal challenges wind their way through the courts, the NCC is about to ramp up the pressure by announcing the creation of Breachwatch, a network of volunteers trained and equipped to monitor, record and report evidence of Forestry Corp breaches."

Eine Geschlechtskrankheit ist niemals angenehm, aber für Koalas können Chlamydien tödlich sein. Deswegen hat ein australisches Forschungsteam eine Impfkampagne gestartet.

Australien hat den Gefährdungsstatus von Koalas auf "bedroht" hochgestuft. Das ist höchste Zeit, denn die drolligen Tiere kämpfen schon länger ums Überleben. Und jetzt mal ehrlich: Was wäre eine Welt ohne Koalas?!
