A database tracking hospital admissions and deaths reveals the devastating impact cars, disease and dogs are having on the South East Queensland koala population.
Professor Joerg Henning and his colleagues at The University of Queensland School of Veterinary Science have analysed data from the UQ-developed KoalaBASE.
"This equates to 1,431 koala deaths from a car strike, 943 chlamydia-related deaths, and 395 dog attack deaths in just five years. Data considered in the analysis included dog registration numbers, the human population and dwelling information, as well as road type and road length. Professor Henning suggests that more road signs could alert motorists to reduce their speed in known koala habitat and activity areas.
