Koala Bear, originally uploaded by cewoldt.

BULLDOZERS rolled in to some of the last remaining koala habitats on the South Coast yesterday, marking the start of what police fear could be a divisive logging operation.

After reading yesterday that we made up some ground in this fight for suitable habitat areas with the 1200 fodder tree sanctuary it is planning, I am discouraged to read this travesty of environmental justice. This must be stopped or the koala will lose its habitat in the South Coast for good. Sheesh! One step forward, two steps back.

As with many politicians it would seem, so far, Mr. Garrett is all talk and no action. There has been no new legisilation presented or adopted to protect the koala since his election. Now, conservationists want him to put-up or shut-up. They have written a strongly-worded letter reminding him of his campaign promises. Their hope is that he will upgrade the status of the marsupial to “vulnerable” and thusly, ensure he is protected by law.

The koala is in danger because of habit-loss, fires, random violent weirdos, domestic animals (bad ubu!) and limited access to food.

Just exactly how much can a koala bear?
