Koala Spotters and Monitoring.
The Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus), listed as Endangered in Queensland, New South Wales and the ACT, is an arboreal marsupial iconic to Australia’s eucalypt forests. It spends most of its life in trees, feeding almost exclusively on eucalyptus leaves and sleeping for up to 20 hours a day.
Koalas are one of Australia’s most iconic species, yet they are increasingly vulnerable to habitat loss, urban expansion, and infrastructure development.
In Queensland New South Wales and the ACT, koalas are listed as endangered, with strict conditions placed on how projects can interact with potential habitat. Any misstep in compliance can result in serious penalties, reputational damage and harm to one of Australia’s most recognisable species.
Koalas are highly sensitive animals, easily stressed by habitat disturbance and handling, which is why careful monitoring and management are essential to ensure their welfare and survival.
