Low tactics used by Conservation Organisation to get money

[Hickson]

Not Herp related, but some of you might be interested in the tactics - and the truth - of the Australian Koala Foundation, the Koala situation and their conservation. :evil:

anyone who knows anything about the populations of koalas east of the dividing range would know thats a load of sheet.

its funny how the uninformed/ignorant get taken for a ride isnt it

It all depends if you think the end justify the means. Anyhow, the more koala habitat "saved" the more herp habitat saved.

Exactly

I've got an even better Idea. We hire her to help with the cane toads in kakadu.

My boss, Jack, at the Renmark Tower Tavern, is a Koala rescue/carer person. He gets nothing from the AKA for all the work he does. Vet fees etc, come out of his own pocket. The koalas he rescues, now get moved from their original habitat near the highway over to an island opposite the tavern, to help stop the road carnage. There is a group of 15 on the island now. Good for Jack for doing his bit anyway, I say.

 

[Bryony]

well good on ya jack!!!
we need people like you, i guess its hard to do good stuff like that when people do thigs like that stupid woman.

RR,

Is Jack aware of what is likely to happen to the population on the island over the next few years (as in population explosion a la French Island in Victoria)?

Something the authorities will want to monitor.

Yeah Hix, the owner of the island(its very big), is keeping an eye out. Don't know if the little population is breeding, but at least they aren't getting on the Renmark to Mildura highway now.

Couple of Murray Darlings on the Island should help the population problem :twisted:

Is he moving koalas to an island previously uninhabited by them??? :shock:
