The National Parks Association of NSW relies on a small team of passionate employees, backed by a group of dedicated volunteers. The Great Koala National Park project team includes:

Kevin Evans - CEO
Ashley Love - Man on the Ground
Tandi Spencer-Smith - Communications Manager
Oisin Sweeney - Science Officer
Kiran Charles - Graphic Designer
Diane Latta - Finance Officer

Habitat loss and fragmentation due to land clearing and urban development has already resulted in koalas disappearing from 75% of their former range in NSW. Most of the remaining high quality koala habitat lies in state forests and on private land where clearing of native vegetation and logging is leading to the removal of vital food and habitat trees. In the future the changing climate will serve to further exacerbate these threats.  

Despite the global status of the koala as the second most recognised animal in the world after the Giant Panda, no national conservation reserve has been set aside to ensure the species long-term protection. By contrast, China has established a national park covering one million hectares of bamboo forest to protect their Pandas.

Large and well-managed protected areas remain the single most effective tool to conserving species and their habitat. The Great Koala National Park, which forms part of a strategic koala reserve plan, is the best chance for our koalas to have a secure future in NSW.



In addition to protecting our national icon, the Great Koala National Park will serve as a haven for a wealth of other threatened and native species and protect the towering forests in which they live. 

But it’s not just our environment that will benefit. A Great Koala National Park will also provide long-term, sustainable economic and cultural benefits to surrounding communities such as Bellingen, Coffs Harbour and Dorrigo. In addition, the park will provide less visible but vital benefits, such as safeguarding water supplies and carbon storage.



The new park will contribute to the conservation of key species and habitat forming part of the Great Eastern Ranges Initiative (GER), one of the world’s largest conservation projects. GER is working with communities and organisations to reconnect 3,600km of land from Victoria to Far North Queensland. The Great Koala National Park, together with the other parks in our reserve plan, will make a particularly important contribution to two of GER’s priority partnership areas, the Border Ranges Alliance and the Jaliigirr Biodiversity Alliance.

If we receive donations over and above our $10,000 target we will stretch our campaign to include the following important elements:

$15,000 – $20,000
- Establish ecotourism partnerships to lead tours through Great Koala National Park
- Host a forum to engage community, tourism and recreational stakeholders in the development of the park.

$20,000 - $25,000
- Donation of $5,000 to support the conservation of the koala in other important locations on the Far South Coast and central west

$25,000 %20
- Funds to support the planting of habitat and feed trees for koalas on private land by landholders and/or local government efforts.

Aspirational $1,000,000 goal
- Purchasing of key parcels of land identified as core koala habitat in the Coffs Harbour government area.

有一种生物除了睡觉就是吃饭。每天睡饱20个小时，起来就是次饭啊。作为每天睡12小时的我和它比弱爆了有木有，有木有。曾经我以为我是懒癌患者，和它比我简直了。唉，哭晕在厕所，请让我一个人静静，债见。那么问题来了，他是谁呢？好了废话不多说直接入主题吧。
我们的项目

在森林那边住着一群考拉阿，它们活泼又可爱，它们蠢萌又呆傻。但是我们这么可爱的萌货却面临了一个严肃的问题，在新南威尔士州短短20年间考拉数量竟然减少了三分之一，唉想想就难受，所以我们推出了一个项目————考拉国家公园。这是我们保护考拉计划的一部分。我们考拉国家森林公园将会出现两种意义非凡的考拉，估计会有国家仅存野生考拉的20%。这伟大的315000公顷的考拉避难所将由175000公顷的繁茂的森林植被和14万公顷的科夫斯港地区现有的保护区组成。

我们的提议是由在新南威尔士州北部海岸，包括环境贝林中心，克拉伦斯环境中心，楠巴卡黑谷保护协会有限公司，北方海岸环境委员会和东北森林联盟的个人和组织进行广泛的研究支持。




这个雄伟的世界文化遗产热带雨林包括了茂密繁盛的桉树林以及一些濒临绝种的物种—黑斯廷斯河鼠，强壮的猫头鹰和斑点鼠。通过建立大考拉国家公园，我们将保护不仅是我们标志性的考拉，更多的是生态系统和它们赖以生存的家园。

栖息地的丧失和破碎化使新南威尔士州75%的考拉减少了，这是由于土地扩建和城市扩展导致的。大多数稀缺考拉栖息地位于国家森林或者没有本土植被的私人土地上，其中砍伐将会导致基本食物和栖息地的减少。在未来的气候变化将进一步加剧这些威胁。

尽管考拉作为世界第二大动物公认的全球地位，仅次于大熊猫。只有国家保护区才能确保这个物种的长期安全。相比之下，中国已建立了覆盖竹林一万公顷的国家公园去保护大熊猫。

一个有组织的保护区会是最有效的工具来保护物种及其栖息地。考拉国家公园，是保护考拉计划的一部分，这对于我们新南威尔士州的考拉的未来来说是一个最好的机会。



这不仅可以保护我们可爱的考拉，还能起到一个避风港的作用，可以保护本地物种让它们免受威胁。

当然这不仅可以让我们的环境受益，考拉国家公园将对于周边的小区提供长期的，可持续的经济和文化的收益。除此之外，公园还提供一些隐形收益比如防洪和碳储存。


   
这个公园将会成于世界上最大的保护项目之一，它有助于推动GRE项目里关键物种和栖息地的保护。GRE正在与相关的组织和社区联系，国家考拉公园和我们计划里的其它公园将做出非凡意义的贡献对于GRE的合作伙伴们。

捐献给pozible将直接参与国家森林公园的建立
1.促进过渡计划的发展，为了本土森林工业。
2.委托一个经济分析关于公园的提议。
3.通过社交和网络媒体去让更多人的知道考拉的困境，推广相关的教育视频和媒体。
4.申请资金去帮助额外的地面测量工作。
5.和相关的政治家和环保组织召开相关的会议。

对于考拉国家公园来说最大的挑战是说服新南威尔士州政府接受公园的经济效益和社会效益远远超过对林业的潜在损失。尽管少数林业工作依然留在这个区域，但是一些人对于林业资源转变为良好的规划和社区的资源有一定的难度。我们的竞选工作的一部分将涉及到原始森林工业的过渡计划。我们还会委托公园的经济分析，去确保其长期生存能力。我们坚信，任何潜在的裁员将通过完美的旅游业和公园娱乐区提供。

另一项关键的挑战将是确保国家公园和野生动物服务被提供充足的资源来有效地管理新园区。我们还有一部分工作，将继续紧密合作，并倡导相关部门，去确保他们获得所需的资源。
