ABC Radio – Keeping Our Koalas
By Save Eumundi Team • Jul 3rd, 2009 • Category: Flora and fauna, NewsAre Koala’s a good barometer of how we treat the land and nature and can you put a value on their loss? We know the population is being decimated by development and the Qld government says State Planning Policy to be introduced this year will protect koala habitats.
Deborah Tabart from the The Australian Koala Foundation says there are only 4000 koalas left in Queensland and she has some concerns about whether the policy has any real meaning.
Click here to hear what Deborah told Annie Gaffney.
Recordings on this page also include:
- Simon Baltais – the State President for the Wildlife Preservation Society of Queensland – has a lot to say about how koalas are faring in south east Queensland, and
- Kate Jones – the Queensland Minister for the Environment. She was asked how she plans to bring the SE Queensland koala back from the brink of extinction.
And read other concerned people’s comments.
This is essential listening.
