New research to investigate koalas and forestry

22-Dec-2023

Leading scientists from Western Sydney University, University of Melbourne, University of Newcastle, CSIRO and the Forest Science Unit, NSW Department of Primary Industries will work with experienced field ecologists from the Forestry Corporation of NSW to further investigate how koala populations and habitat respond to harvesting in state forests. This work will build on previous research overseen by the Commission.

A new research plan outlines the research objectives and approach.

We are delivering this independent research program under the NSW Koala Strategy (2021-26) at the request of the NSW Government.
