We want you to join our Southwest Sydney Koala Project Citizen Science Program.

Get Involved

Did you know that The Southwest Sydney Koala Project is running a mini Citizen Science initiative on koala sightings?

We need your help to keep track of these adorable marsupials in our region.

Detect Koalas on Your Own Land

We’ve secured funding to provide wildlife cameras for your property, allowing you to detect and spot koala activity right in your backyard.

By participating, you’re contributing valuable data that we upload to the national koala database (BioNet). This information is crucial for understanding and conserving our local koala population.

Why Does It Matter?

Koalas play a vital role in our ecosystem, and by monitoring their movements, we can identify key habitats for conservation efforts.

Your involvement helps us map out where these iconic creatures are thriving, aiding in the protection of their natural homes.
