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

A koala unfriendly infrastructure

Koala signage (litter on a stick) erected and then vandalised by motorists. Bellingen/ Gleniffer

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.
