Over 4,300 Koalas Found in Newcastle’s Fringe Forests by Drone Survey
In a landmark study, researchers from the University of Newcastle have identified over 4,300 koalas living in bushlands on Newcastle’s suburban fringe. Using thermal imaging and drone technology, the team mapped populations across 208 sites, including regions like Sugarloaf State Conservation Area, which had few previous records. The results show koalas are surviving in peri-urban landscapes, stressing the importance of preserving these environments. WWF-Australia praised the findings as vital for reaching its goal of doubling koala numbers by 2050 through accurate population monitoring.
