  1. 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." >>

  7. 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>>

  12. 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'.

  13. Greater gliders
    "were once common along the east coast, but have since disappeared.. more than half the total population has been wiped out in just over two decades."

    "Hundreds of endangered gliders have been sighted in NSW forests earmarked for logging. Surveys conducted by community conservationists documented more than 10 times the number of critical glider "den trees", and more than three times the number of gliders themselves, compared to those found by Forestry Corporation of NSW (FCNSW) in its mandated pre-logging surveys.The logging in those forests is planned to continue despite the regulator being told about the sightings."

  14. 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."

  15. The NSW government is yet to set a date for the Great Koala National Park and is allowing native forest logging within the proposed park boundaries to continue ravaging critical habitat for the endangered greater glider and koala.

  16. Koalas depend on bats

    "Without the bats, the koalas wouldn't have the trees. So the bats are the ones that are fertilising those big eucalypts that koalas love."

    "A lot of people overseas when they think of Australia, they think of koalas." In Australia "there's ...a lack of awareness about the role of bats in controlling insect populations, pollinating plants and spreading seeds, much like birds and bees do."

    "Perceptions have consequences: The Conservation Council of WA (CCWA) says more than half of the state's species are in decline, or their status is unknown, due to a lack of research."

  17. Trust Forestry Corp logging surveys? FCNSW greater glider survey was done when the nocturnal animals were asleep

    "The Forestry Corporation searched a NSW forest for greater gliders during the day, when the endangered animals would have been asleep.The state-owned enterprise has defended its actions after a glider was recently found dead 50 metres from harvesting operations in the Tallaganda State Forest, east of Canberra."

    "Three conservation groups recently went into the forest and found 17 den trees over a small area, but their survey work was done from dusk into the night."

  19. 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?!
