A new report highlights the shocking scale of planned koala habitat destruction by new coal mining projects seeking approval from the Albanese government. Not only do coal mines threaten habitat, but climate change, caused by coal, leads to extreme heat and bushfires that impact on koala health and habitat.
The total combined koala habitat to be cleared in Queensland is over 11,000ha. This is SHOCKING when both the federal government and state government have this precious species listed as endangered.
Australia’s koalas are under threat, and it’s time to take a stand.
Capricorn Conservation Council and Lock the Gate are hosting this FREE event.
Hear from academic researchers including Dr Michael Hewson from Central Queensland University about how habitat loss and climate change threaten koalas and have a chance to talk with local conservation groups about how we can take action. Darumbal Elder Uncle George will provide a welcome to Country and share knowledge about the place of koalas in Country.
