Taronga has been engaged by the NSW Department of Climate Change, Energy, Environment and Water to deliver the Koala Capture and Veterinary Processing component of the Koala Sentinel Population Monitoring Program, part of the broader NSW Koala Strategy.
The program involves conducting health assessments and fitting tracking devices to collect data on koala density, movement, disease, health, and genetics across six populations in NSW. This multi-year initiative is contributing valuable insights to long-term research efforts aimed at informing koala conservation and population management across the state.
