The NSW Government’s Community Wildlife Survey – NSW Environment, Energy and Science for 2019 is now open and ready for you to share your sightings HERE

• 

We need your help in understanding and conserving koalas and other local wildlife.

We are running a statewide survey that incorporates citizen science to improve our understanding of the distribution of koalas and other wildlife in New South Wales and how their populations have changed over time.

The information you provide in this NSW Community Wildlife Survey for 2019 will build on the findings we have from earlier community surveys and allow us to compare wildlife populations in 2006 and 2019. This will help us decide the priority sites for action as part of the NSW Government’s Koala Strategy.

The survey questions include:

• which of the 10 target animals in the image gallery occur in your local area
• when you last saw the animals in your local area and if you think their numbers are increasing, decreasing or staying the same
• the health of the koalas in your local area and do they have young (joeys)
• what you think are the main threats to koalas in your local area
• where in New South Wales you have seen any of the 10 target animals over the last 2 years.
