Koala protection efforts are failing in Queensland despite clear evidence of devastating population losses, a new report has found.
An expert panel, established by the State Government after the ABC revealed a catastrophic population crash in south-east Queensland’s Koala Coast and Pine Rivers regions, delivered an interim report.
It outlined a long list of failures in government policy, planning and mapping, which continued to put the vulnerable population at risk.
A summary of the interim report is available at:
