It is not a “set and forget” situation when it comes to protecting the koala population of Redlands Coast.Redland City Council collaborates with research organisations, government agencies, education groups, and, importantly, local residents, to keep an eye on our city’s koalas on an ongoing basis.Mayor Jos Mitchell said the more detailed data Council and its partners had on koala population dynamics and density, the better equipped they were to implement targeted koala conservation activities.“Protecting our koalas from harm requires a lot of time being out there in their habitats and physically checking on their health,” she said.“Existing technology and emerging ways of capturing data are constantly in use or being trialled as part of our innovative koala conservation strategy.“Council and our koala research team welcomes the help of the community and citizen scientists in keeping track of our koalas.”The community can report koala sightings via the Redlands Coast Koala Watch Bicollect hub or by using the BioCollect mobile app that you can download to your mobile phone.As well as the BioCollect app, Council has another koala sighting app that it is currently trialling.
