Koala: Koala Plan
built 644 days ago
The Koala Plan identifies a number of actions that dog owners can take to reduce the risk of attacks on koalas. The key is to limit a dog's movements at night when koalas are most active. This can mean keeping a dog inside or on a lead, or constructing an enclosure that will keep a dog in — and koalas out.

In January 2005 the draft Nature Conservation (Koala) Conservation Plan 2005 and Management Program 2005–2015 was released for public comment. In October 2006, the Queensland Government will release the Koala Plan after considering more than 500 public submissions as a result of two rounds of public consultation about the plan.

On St. Bees, a quiet volcanic isle fringed with reefs, rainforests, eucalypt woodlands, and dense grasslands, you will join koala experts Melzer and Ellis in conducting a detailed study of koala ecology. You will gather data on koala demographics, distribution, genetic diversity, health, and habitat use, and do some plant analysis. You will be assigned to rotate through koala tracking, field ecology, and koala capture when necessary. You will do long hikes all around the steep rocky island to help find and track collared animals (sometimes at night to determine tree use). You will ... document forest composition and collect and process plant samples. In your free time, you can relax under palms on the beach or snorkel in the lagoon.

A native plant nursery is attached to the Care Centre providing koala food trees for free to local landholders. The proceeds from other native plant sales go towards the cost of koala care.
