Here’s your chance to contribute to koala research right from your own property.
We Need Your Help
We’re thrilled to announce funding opportunities for installing audio monitoring devices on your property, courtesy of the Greater Sydney Landcare’s Southwest Sydney Koala Project and the NSW Koala Strategy.
What is Audio Monitoring For?
Audio monitoring a fantastic way to detect evidence of koala presence in your area. By simply listening to the sounds of the bush, we can gather valuable data for koala research and gain insights into primary koala habitat within Western Sydney, the range of their population, and indicate how many koalas are within the area.
