Data provider: Cooroy Creek - Koala Corridor Project

This project will engage the community to raise awareness of the importance of Cooroy and surrounds as a stronghold for koalas by restoring a 4.6 ha section of Cooroy Creek riparian zone. Weeds listed on the National Environmental Alert List, Class 3 Declared Plants, WoNS & other habitat-changing introduced species will be targeted & replaced with soil-stabilising Lomandras, Koala food trees, Richmond Birdwing Vines & native groundcover / understorey species.

Data provider: Great Victorian Koala Count 2015

Victoria and South Australia have large and thriving Koala populations, unlike Queensland, New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory where Koala populations are in decline and are listed as vulnerable under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999. In most areas of Victoria, Koala densities are naturally low (on average about one per hectare)...

Data provider: Koala Count 2015

Accurate species distribution data can be a powerful tool for conservation action. Annual data can be used to highlight Koala hotspots and detect areas where Koalas are absent or in decline. This abundance data can then be used as unequivocal evidence for why we need to protect koalas in some regions of Australia...

The survey is now open continuously and abundance estimates are based on a snapshot of recordings received in the same two week period in October each year...

We have developed a smartphone app ("Koala Counter") to help you record koala sightings. There is information about the app and the project on the Discovery Circle website at: <a title="Great Koala Count 2" href="http://www.discoverycircle.org.au/projects/koala/" target="_blank">http://www.discoverycircle.org.au/projects/koala/</a> IF YOU CANNOT USE THE SMARTPHONE APP... we have set up this website so that you can still record koala sightings (without using a smartphone)...

We are asking for members of the public to help us to record the distribution of koalas around South Australia

Data resource: The Great Koala Count South Australia

The humble Australian koala was listed as an extinct animal in South Australia in the early 1900s, hounded from its home and shot on sight. In the 1930s researchers established colonies on Kangaroo Island to restore numbers, and now the state's populations are all deratives from the colony. In the eastern states of Australia, the koala is listed as endangered as the urban sprawl continues to engulf their natural habitats...
