Interactive & Informative
KoalaTracker is the ultimate citizen science project, empowering individuals, community groups, neighbourhoods, councils, companies, states and schools to undertake localised mapping, risk mitigation, conservation and tracking. Save the login screen to your mobile device to use as an app.
What We Record
We are mapping the location, points of impact and cause of death and injury of the koala, nationwide. Through member observations, we have proved state habitat maps incorrect, proven koalas where the experts said there were none and discovered information new to science. In addition, through the mapping of koalas on KoalaTracker, we have engaged communities in activism on behalf of the koala, saved healthy populations from infrastructure and development projects and empowered councils with planning and conservation, and universities with research. Anyone can join. And everyone can be a part of something meaningful and effective. No special skills required, and it's free.

Why You Should Get Involved
The koala is not yet listed as a threatened species in Australia, and it should be. The reason given by the Threatened Species Scientific Committee each time it has assessed the koala, is that it does not have sufficient data. Well with your help, we will. Watch the videos on the About page to learn more.
Who Is Behind KoalaTracker?
Created by Alex Harris, a real estate agent in Noosa, KoalaTracker is provided free of charge for everyone to use. The catalyst was a series of photos in early 2009 showing koalas asking humans for water during a heat wave in South Australia. This was contrary to everything we had been taught as children about koalas, and Alex wondered, what else don't we know? Critical to our being able to protect the koala are 3 fundamental questions to which no one knew the answers: How many are left, where do they live and in what condition? KoalaTracker seeks to provide a greater understanding of both quantitative and qualitative data from the best scientists no money can buy...You! Join here.
