For the first time, important Koala habitat corridors throughout Greater Sydney have been mapped... [It is] a cost-effective opportunity that allows Sydney’s critical Koala populations and other threatened species to persist amidst growing threats from development. https://www.tec.org.au/greater_sydney_koala_green_belts_corridors_of_survival

This is really positive news and needs to be done for all Australian cities. Wildlife corridors help animals survive through the ability to move, not caught in bush 'islands' where they are endangered by threats like fire and lack of food with nowhere to go.

This is amazing, and it explains why I've never seen one. I'm surprised they can be found near bankstown. I figured there weren't any within 50 km of the CBD

    What's also great is that knowing what areas are restoration opportunities and/or vulnerable, it gives neighbouring residents a chance to get together and form corridor care groups, protecting what they have and planting more trees and other vegetation to feed and shelter our beautiful wildlife.

    Seconded. It really is.

    I've felt much less pressure to maintain some sort of posting life in this community these last couple months knowing u/arbilp3 has posted.

    Doesn't mean I shouldn't be posting as well, but that pressure I's putting on myself wasn't the best way to do things. So I am so thankful, probably don't say it enough.
