BellingenNSW<p>Turning a blind eye to roads and dogs in koala conservation</p><p>In the early 1900s farmers, hunters and government officials opened the koala-hunting season. Now the extinction of the koala is driven by land clearing, sprawl, vehicle crashes, dog attacks and logging.</p><p>The framing of (koala) conservation stops where human habitat and their mobility design (roads to everywhere and speeding vehicles) fragments the habitat of the endangered wildlife.They haste from the remaining refuge island to to the next refuge island. If the speeding vehicles won't smear them across the road, they end up mauled by introduced roaming carnivores.</p><p><a href="https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14486563.2023.2173321" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10</span><span class="invisible">80/14486563.2023.2173321</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Koalas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Koalas</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/EndangeredSpecies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EndangeredSpecies</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/conservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>conservation</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/ecology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ecology</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/EcologicalSurveys" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EcologicalSurveys</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/wildllife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wildllife</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/sprawl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sprawl</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/pets" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pets</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/dogs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dogs</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/cars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cars</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/roadkill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>roadkill</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/roads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>roads</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/NSWLogging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NSWLogging</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/LoggingImpacts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LoggingImpacts</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>biodiversity</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/extinction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>extinction</span></a> makers</p>
