KOALATRACKER BLOG 


KoalaTracker is Australia's national koala map and database, mapping the location of koala populations, points of impact and causes of death and injury for the public record. KoalaTracker empowers localised advocacy, enables more effective risk mitigation, adds to research and engages the community to save the koala. This blog discusses the knowledge gained through member submissions, koala mapping and location intelligence, scientific research and government action. Please join the conversation.

Koalas are water guzzlers! KoalaTracker Blog
Alex Harris - Monday, April 08, 2013

One of the wonderful benefits of membership to KoalaTracker is the element of education. The koala is such an important economic asset (the biggest drawcard for inbound tourism), an environmental indicator, and iconic of Australia’s unique wildlife, it continues to astound me how little we know about it.

Keeping track of them with the help of Koalatracker.com.au brings insight to the health of koalas on a regional basis, rather than... More


Why Bother? Australian wildlife are simply pests KoalaTracker Blog
Alex Harris - Friday, March 26, 2010
