Ormiston Koala Population Monitoring & Community Engagement: 2019 Progress Report
University of the Sunshine Coast
2019
Abstract
This project is designed to feed into Redland City Council’s (RCC) Koala Conservation Safe Neighbourhoods (KCSN) program, a major koala conservation initiative by RCC. The primary aim of the KCSN is to generate a higher sense of custodianship from residents toward their local koalas by informing, supporting, and empowering them to actively conserve koalas within urbanised landscapes. Central to the management of koalas within a KCSN will be ongoing monitoring of the local koala population. The monitoring will have a number of applied purposes, this includes understanding vital rates (survival, recruitment), disease incidence, frequency of exposure to threats (dogs, cars) and patch utilisation (tree visitation, movement). KCSN will heavily rely on a citizen science component to enable the ongoing monitoring of the local koala population.
