Two and a half years after it began, the ‘Corridors and core habitat for koalas on the NSW Far South Coast’ project has released its first publicly available report, for the period July to December 2013. Scant on detail, frequently misleading, or just plain wrong, the OE&H report also provides an update on the plan to translocate koalas, from south Gippsland, to the South East National Park. Rather than the expected ‘island koalas’, the report indicates “Agreement was reached with the Victorian Government for NSW OEH to undertake an assessment of the Strzelecki koala population as a possible source site for animals for translocation”. This aspect of the project ‘is well advanced and will be finalised in the next reporting period’, which is now. As of March last year, areas adjacent to the release site were marked with ‘New Nomination’, and excluded from the Integrated Forestry Operations Approvals. Putting one and one together, other areas for this new nomination should include the 2,800 ha, proposed as local koala moratorium areas. Unfortunately, these areas are to be revised, and negotiations with FCNSW on modified harvesting protocols for other areas, are still continuing with FCNSW. Of course there is an expectation that every-one will believe this project is for the benefit of koalas, even though the evidence suggests otherwise. For example, and in addition to the significant trauma wild animals suffer, the result of removing koalas from their home-range, and releasing them elsewhere, invariably results in the animals attempting to return to their homes. Regrettably, because they don’t know which direction home is, they all take off in different directions. In addition, there is the most likely reason koalas have become functionally extinct in the area, as indicated in the FCNSW die-back map of the new nomination area below. bertramr.wordpress/tag/university-of-queensland/ KoalaTracker Alex Anne Page Berrinba SanctuarySave Our KoalasQueensland Koala Crusaders Protect the Bush Alliance
