Support the endangered Koala
By Nikita Binetti | Development Associate - Annual Programs
Thanks to your support, the AWC science team have commenced an exciting environmental DNA (eDNA) project at Mount Zero-Taravale in north Queensland. eDNA can be used to identify endangered species and assess biodiversity in a non-invasive manner.
Camera surveys at Wailinbakh Wildlife Sanctuary have also made some significant additions to the species inventory. Ecologists have confirmed the presence of Koalas across most of the sanctuary, and have also made the first detection of the vulnerable Long-nosed Potoroo on any AWC sanctuary. Thank you for supporting AWC’s efforts to monitor the endangered Koala across AWC's sanctuaries. Please see the attached report to read more and look through some exciting photos across our sanctuaries.

Koalas at Waulinbakh Wildlife Sanctuary
By Nikita Binetti | Development Associate - Annual Programs
Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC) has a long history of conserving and managing Eucalypt forests and woodlands, and - thanks to you - currently protect the endangered Koala at three sanctuaries. Population fragmentation and a loss of suitable habitat has resulted in dramatic Koala population decline, such that the species was listed as endangered in 2022. AWC supports threatened populations by preserving Koala habitat, as well as pursuing new and innovative research techniques that provide crucial data on population density, distribution and potential threats. This crucial research provides insights into the most effective areas to promote koala conservation and recovery in the future.
Learn about how you are contributing to Koala restoration and rewilding efforts, and take a look at some of the most recent images of Koalas captured at Waulinbakh Wildlife Sanctuary in the attached report.
Thank you for contributing to this crucial work.

This crucial research provides insights into the most effective areas to promote koala conservation and recovery in the future.
The attached report holds some exciting news from Waulinbakh Wildlife Sanctuary, where Koalas have been identified through wildlife surveys. It also details some of the reasearch happening in relation to understanding Koala populations at three AWC sanctuaries. I hope you enjoy reading about the impact of your support!
