Book excerpt: Adored for its large fluffy ears, spoon-shaped nose and bright button eyes, the koala is universally recognised and revered as an Australian icon. But it hasn't always been so. After coexisting successfully with Aborigines for thousands of years, the koala was considered sloth-like by the early Europeans and valued for little more than its fur, and by the early twentieth century millions of koalas had been hunted, driving the species to near-extinction. Yet the koala is also one of the most well-adapted and resilient of Australia's marsupials, described by some as a triumph of evolution. How does it survive, and thrive even, on such indigestible fare as eucalyptus leaves, laden as they are with enough toxic phenols to kill most other animals? In this fascinating story of the koala, respected biologist and author Stephen Jackson examines not only the ecology, behaviour and history of this extraordinary animal, but also ongoing threats such as disease and habitat loss, and the controversial debate about how to best manage the remaining populations of Australia's favourite marsupial.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Koalas (Phascolarctos cinereus) are tree-dwelling, medium-sized marsupials that have an iconic status: an important part of Australia's natural and cultural heritage. Koalas are found largely on flat, fertile lands of the eastern and southern parts of Australia. These lands are those generally preferred for both urban and agricultural development, and as such, the extent of koala habitat has declined. In 1996 concern for the koala's numbers, welfare and conservation, with its numbers declining in part of its range, resulted in the development of the National Koala Conservation Strategy. The National Koala Conservation Strategy was signed in 1998 by the Commonwealth, States and Territories through the then Australian and New Zealand Environment and Conservation Council. The Strategy recognised that protecting and managing koalas is a complex task and that the need for a strategic approach to the management of koalas had become urgent, and was needed to maximise the effectiveness of conservation efforts. The Strategy identified the major issues for koalas as clearing, fragmentation and degradation of habitat, disease, natural disasters, roads, dogs, and over-browsing. The Strategy addressed these issues with six objectives comprising: conservation of koalas in existing habitat; restoration of degraded habitat; better understanding of the conservation biology of koalas; education; management of captive, sick or injured koalas; and management of over-browsing. The aim of the Strategy was to conserve koalas by retaining viable populations in the wild throughout their natural range. In 2006 the Natural Resource Management Ministerial Council agreed to review the Strategy. Reviewing the Strategy will allow nationally consistent objectives for protection and management of koala populations to be updated and used as a guide for regional and local land-use decision-makers. Since the release of the Strategy, major changes have occurred in the legislative context in which the Strategy operates, with new legislation formulated at both state and federal levels--some specific to koalas. There has also been a substantial amount of research and work related to the conservation and management of koalas around the country. Since 1998 there have, however, also been significant local declines in koala populations and koala habitat in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria, and large numbers of animals continue to die from disease, traffic injury and dog attacks. In reviewing the Strategy, interviews were completed with a range of stakeholders to determine how effective the strategy had been in achieving its primary aim and the six objectives. Written submissions were also invited. In general, there has been some work completed towards achieving the aim and objectives of the Strategy, but the Strategy itself has not been properly implemented. There is little evidence to demonstrate that the Strategy has driven any of the achievements over the last 10 years. Although connections can be drawn between the Strategy and some state-based initiatives, such as the koala management and conservation plans in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland, these connections have not been widely promoted and appear not to be coordinated through the Strategy. There is a lack of implementation of both the aim and the six objectives of the Strategy. That is not to say that the Strategy cannot work going into the future, the Strategy remains a good framework for the conservation and management of koalas. However, recognition, promotion, funding and leadership are required to ensure that its aim and objectives are met"--Page iii.

Download or read book Koala written by Ann Moyal and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2008-07-25 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The koala is both an Australian icon and an animal that has attained ‘flagship’ status around the world. Yet its history tells a different story. While the koala figured prominently in Aboriginal Dreaming and Creation stories, its presence was not recorded in Australia until 15 years after white settlement. Then it would figure as a scientific oddity, despatched to museums in Britain and Europe, a native animal driven increasingly from its habitat by tree felling and human settlement, and a subject of relentless hunting by trappers for its valuable fur. It was not until the late 1920s that slowly emerging protective legislation and the enterprise of private protectors came to its aid. This book surveys the koala’s fascinating history, its evolutionary survival in Australia for over 30 million years, its strikingly adaptive physiognomy, its private life, and the strong cultural impact it has had through its rich fertilisation of Australian literature. The work also focuses on the complex problems of Australia’s national wildlife and conservation policies and the challenges surrounding the environmental, economic and social questions concerning koala management. Koala embraces the story of this famous marsupial in an engaging historical narrative, extensively illustrated from widely sourced pictorial material.
