The Community Wildlife Survey is used to determine the presence or absence of koalas and other wildlife across NSW (crowd-sourced data) and the community’s perceptions of change in koala populations and their threats over time (community wisdom). Trends can be identified by comparing wildlife populations in 2006 with later surveys. The survey will improve our understanding of the distribution of koalas and other wildlife in NSW, to indicate how their populations have changed over time, and to investigate what might be causing that change.
