With the NSW State Election only a few months away, a YouGov survey has revealed strong support across party lines for improved protection of Koalas. 89% of Labor and 78% of Coalition voters in NSW want Koala habitat in NSW protected. 

The clear message is that political parties need to have credible policies so that public and private bushland that are koala habitats are protected from development such as housing, mining, and logging.  This is the case whether you live in Sydney or regional areas.  We’ll be closely assessing the upcoming policies. 

"When asked about the proposed Sydney Koala Greenbelt, 95% of Labor and 88% Coalition voters support it.  It’s obviously a massively popular plan.’’ 

"Koalas are now officially designated as "endangered’’ under state and federal threatened species laws.  The community knows this.  The community wants action, not soft policies that do not address the main cause – loss of habitat.  Koala survival is on a precipice and the next NSW government must stop their decline.’’

Update: We have calculated that we need to raise $45,000 to campaign this issue effectively. We launched a crowdfunding campaign to raise the money. Now is the time to step up for Koalas, but we can only do this with your support! Join the cause today.
