  1. "Research painted a grim picture of the health and wellbeing of Victoria’s koalas."

    "...We have a crisis in our koala populations in Victoria because we have a very concerning level of poor health and welfare.”

    “Sitting on critical ecological data for over a year while koalas continued to suffer and disappear is a shocking failure of transparency and responsibility." >>

  2. Logging the Promised Land, Bellingen/ Gleniffer

  3. Drone locates 20 koalas in forest due to be logged next year

    "A thermal drone imaging survey has been conducted over a plantation within the Great Koala National Park footprint. 20 koalas were detected over two nights at Tuckers Nob State Forest, which is due to be logged in the New Year."

    The so called 'plantations' are more like native forests. Tuckers Nob forest must be included in the great koala national park. Video>>

  4. Koala deaths though road and highway crashes

    “There were five koala deaths on this section of the Bruxner Highway in August alone and any protection measure we can take to reduce that toll is worth taking. A section of the highway between Lismore and Casino will have the speed reduced from 100km to 80km in a bid to reduce koala deaths...Members of the public regularly call us about koalas in roadside trees, which causes sleepless nights wondering if they will be the next ones hit that we have to pick up.”

    There seems to be a lack of impact data on the 'dispersed' koalas of the 'upgraded' Gleniffer 'Highway' through the industrially logged forests of Bellingen/Gleniffer. The 50s mobility design has achieved its goal, more traffic is speeding now. Meanwhile, photos proliferate of 'koalas in roadside trees'.

  5. Koalas

    "After European colonization in 1788, more species have become extinct in Australia than in any other country on Earth (Australian Government Department of Agriculture Water and the Environment, 2022)."

    In 2020, the NSW Parliamentary Inquiry into Koalas found that koalas will become extinct before 2050. Why?

    Habitat grab, cars and dogs
    "Koalas who had been attacked by a dog, fallen from a tree, and/or been hit by a motor vehicle were more likely to be euthanized or found deceased than released."
