Biolink was engaged by the Future of Yarram Working Group to undertake a needs analysis and strategic feasibility study for a proposed wildlife treatment and conservation centre in Yarram, Victoria. The project examined whether a regional facility could address gaps in wildlife treatment while also supporting conservation, research and education. We first assessed the region’s

Biolink is working with Ipswich City Council to update its Koala Conservation and Habitat Management Plan, creating an evidence-based strategy for the long-term conservation of koalas across the Ipswich LGA.

The Kiwarrak Area of Regional Koala Significance (ARKS) was heavily impacted by the 2019 – 2020 bushfire season with post-fire surveys of koala activity indicating substantive losses of koalas across this area and measurable impacts to habitat (WWF funded project – Biolink 2020). MidCoast Council was successful in securing a Bushfire Recovery for Wildlife and

The concept of Areas of Regional Koala Significance (ARKS) was developed by the Office of Environment and Heritage (now DPE) to meet the objective of identifying the locations and extent of important koala populations across NSW, further enabling the management of such areas by way of an objective assessment of threats to population persistence. Following

Following advice previously provided to DPIE / OEH in 2018 on the development of a survey program for Red-lored Whistlers which utilised passive acoustic sampling, Biolink reviewed and analysed call data from song meters, in addition to a further examination of historical Red-lored Whistler records and associated ecological information including vegetation and fire mapping. Outputs

Since the 2019/20 bushfires, it has become increasingly important to better understand the distribution and abundance of remaining koala populations. The Campbelltown koalas escaped the conflagration by little more than the width of a road and some timely backburning. We have been working with Campbelltown City Council for many years, most recently to bring a
