Huge congratulations to Tracey Wilson & volunteer vet James Cowell at #MosswoodWildlife in VIC on receiving a Golden Leaf Award from Koala Conservation Australia.
The award for their tireless and humble work rescuing & treating 300 koalas a year, victims of car hits, dog attack & blue gum harvesting is incredibly well deserved & IFAW is proud to be their long-term partner.

Great presentation by Dr Michaela Blyton about koalas KORV. Recommended caution in translocations between southern and northern populations. #koalaconference

The story of the “Koala Capital of the World” in Gunnedah - 2006: thriving population; 2009: 25% population crash due to heatwave; then disease increase to 2023: almost no recruitment, 75% of females not breeding, excellent research from @sydney_uni Dr Val Mella #koalaconference
