Wild koalas: slow life in the fast lane KoalaTracker Blog
Alex Harris - Thursday, May 02, 2013

Some months ago I alerted members by email to this upcoming documentary which we thought would air on ABC at the end of last year, but is now to air on National Geographic later this year.

The koala is in a turf war, and losing.  Drawing on recent research into language, movements and social interactions, this is important viewing.  


Here is your advanced screening (full doco).  Get yourself a cuppa and watch.  Fabulous footage, and you will be amazed with what you learn about our koala.  

Most importantly, it underscores the need to protect what little remains of koala habitat and create/maintain safe wildlife corridors.  

Note to researchers:  You only need look at the KoalaTracker map to see how many koalas do attempt to cross the six lane Bruce Highway and other roads.

Send a link to this page to our politicians, won't you?
