The creeping extinction of koalas

A vigil will "mourn the death of a koala found injured during clear-fell operations in Pine Creek State Forest in July. Forestry Corporation confirmed the animal was found on 21 July within an active harvesting area."

"...We are still losing koalas to logging in the very compartments that should form the bridge.”

"Mr Elzer, a long-time Coffs Coast resident, said he has witnessed the extinction of all northern beaches koalas, which, decades ago, formed a healthy large colony. He fears that the remaining few in the heart of the city around the Coffs Creek bushland and east of the Sawtell link road will suffer the same fate in years to come."

“Without connectivity to the lush hinterland connecting Bongil Bongil National Park to Bindarri National Park, this small re-emerging colony will also become extinct,” he said." >>

"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?

Koala translocation: malnourished, emaciated and dead

"NSW government rejected expert advice before failed koala reintroduction that left more than half dead.
Eight of the 13 koalas moved from forest near Wollongong to the South East Forest national park near Bega died over a two-month period."

"Documents reveal state environment department had ‘reckless indifference’ to fate of individual koalas, Greens spokesperson Sue Higginson says. The New South Wales government rejected advice from an expert scientific panel before it attempted a failed reintroduction of koalas to a forest in the state’s south that resulted in the death of more than half the animals."

World Heritage boundaries — minus the plantations

"Research has shown there are more significant populations of koala, and more significant koala trees than the areas of native forest now under logging moratorium. This is particularly the case for the plantation habitat in Newry, Wild Cattle Creek, Pine Creek and Tuckers Nob State Forests. Tragically, this koala habitat will continue to be subjected to ongoing forestry operations — which threatens the viability of the population as a whole. With one-tenth of the population located in these forests, ongoing operations will result in a permanent cull."

"Suspending all operations in these areas pending a full review is essential to protect the integrity of the park’s natural values as a whole."

The obligation of scientists to speak the truth for the common good:

Why the NSW Government’s ‘provisional’ Koala Park will not save koalas

"A precautionary approach would suspend all logging – now. "

"The current approach to maintaining those small areas of hardwood plantation in wood production will result in a ‘Swiss cheese’ park, full of holes, with isolated populations of koala incapable of moving across the landscape. The ‘Great Koala Park’ will become the Great Koala Ghetto. Clear-fall forestry, as prescribed for areas zoned plantation, is incompatible with sustainable koala populations."
