A review of koala habitat assessment criteria and methods

    Research output: Book/ReportCommissioned reportpeer-review

    Abstract

    The purpose of this document is to help the Commonwealth and other natural resource managers interpret advice they receive regarding impact assessments and related management plans for the Environment Protection Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) listed Koala Phascolarctos cinereus (combined populations of Queensland, New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory), hereafter referred to as the EPBC Act-listed koala. This document collates information on koalas and their habitat that is relevant for determining whether an area is likely to be koala habitat, reviews the benefits and limitations of current methods for assessing koala presence and abundance, and critically assesses the extent that commonly used criteria for evaluating koala habitat are backed by peer-reviewed research. This document is not intended to replace or supersede any Commonwealth statutory documents relating to the EPBC Act-listed koala
