Very proud of our friend, colleague & koala whisperer @talkingkoala for an awesome opening presentation at the #KoalaConference on post fire koala health surveys on Ngunya Jargoon Indigenous Protected Area. Thank you for your incredible work + dedication to fighting for Ballina’s koalas.

Huge congratulations to Tracey Wilson & volunteer vet James Cowell at #MosswoodWildlife in VIC on receiving a Golden Leaf Award from Koala Conservation Australia.
The award for their tireless and humble work rescuing & treating 300+ koalas a year, victims of car hits, dog attack & blue gum harvesting is incredibly well deserved & IFAW is proud to be their long-term partner.

Something our detection dog surveys have participated in showing 😔 big drop in koala presence compared to 5 years ago…

[Koala News & Science @science_koala]

2/2 Massive recent extinction of western NSW koalas. Red circles= no evidence of koalas, pink = very little evidence

[Koala News & Science @science_koala]

Great presentation by Dr Michaela Blyton about koalas KORV. Recommended caution in translocations between southern and northern populations. #koalaconference

[USC Detection Dogs @USCDetectionDog]

The story of the “Koala Capital of the World” in Gunnedah - 2006: thriving population; 2009: 25% population crash due to heatwave; then disease increase to 2023: almost no recruitment, 75% of females not breeding, excellent research from @sydney_uni Dr Val Mella #koalaconference

[Koala News & Science @science_koala]

Dr Val Mella study measured koala body temperature during heat waves. Core body temperature found to be at dangerously high levels above normal of 35-37° #koalaconference
