Our vision for koalas

We build community alliances in the South Gippsland region and across Victoria to support local citizens in learning how to survey and look for koalas. We believe that citizen science can lead to better understanding for land managers about where key koala populations reside, and encourage better state and federal protections for the Strzelecki koala, and koala populations across Australia.

SKAT works to protect the Strzelecki/South Gippsland koala and support initiatives that increase koala habitat throughout the region.

Our Key goals are:


1. Establish a koala Reserve at Mullungdung


2. The establishment of the Brataualung Forest Park in the Strzelecki Ranges


3. Listing of the Strzelecki Koala under Federal Environment Protection Law.


4. Increase community understanding about these unique animals, including through our Strzelecki koala map.

 

The genetically diverse Strzelecki/South Gippsland Koala is fighting its own unique battle. As our country is increasingly more vulnerable with bushfire risks looming, climate change is the biggest threat.
