Tender Details
The NSW Government is undertaking a statewide baseline survey of koalas as part of the NSW Koala Strategy to derive more precise information on current distribution and abundance. The aims are to model current distribution, improve understanding of how koala occurrence and density vary, increase precision of estimates of koala numbers and provide a foundation for developing strategic monitoring programs.
This statewide survey is an ambitious project that has not been undertaken previously. We aim to survey up to 1000 sites across NSW from 3 October 2022 to 31 October 2024 using multiple survey methods (nocturnal drones, diurnal transects, acoustic monitoring, camera trapping and scat collection).
We will require a large number of experienced and capable ecologist field workers with formal drone training to complete the fieldwork and achieve our objectives.
