Koalas are an iconic part of Australia's wildlife, but they face numerous threats. By organising an event in your community, you will: 

• Educate about koala behaviour, habitats, and the challenges they face.

• Gain training on how to spot and record koala sightings to contribute valuable data to conservation efforts. By increasing the reporting of koala sightings, we empower conservationists to protect koalas and their habitats across NSW.

The CWA of NSW is committed to support koala conservation through the following policy:

• Advocating for the creation of protected forests to support the re-wilding of Sydney's koalas.

• Pushing for laws that safeguard koala habitats from land clearing, urbanisation, and habitat fragmentation.

• Urging all levels of government to protect trees identified as koala habitats.

Data on koala sightings collected by CWA of NSW event participants is consolidated through NSW BioNet, a comprehensive repository for biodiversity data. 

This data is crucial in identifying Areas of Regional Koala Significance (ARKs), enabling targeted conservation efforts
