Drone locates 20 koalas in forest due to be logged next year

"A thermal drone imaging survey has been conducted over a plantation within the Great Koala National Park footprint. 20 koalas were detected over two nights at Tuckers Nob State Forest, which is due to be logged in the New Year."

The so called 'plantations' are more like native forests. Tuckers Nob forest must be included in the great koala national park. Video>>

Made another tiktok of some behind the scenes photos of us radio tagging bumble bees! The process of attaching tags take a lot of focus so unfortunately we don't have a ton of footage
