14.01.2022 A real hero of the recent horrendous bushfires which totally wiped out habitats and colonies of koalas already endangered in many areas, is special guest at the Queensland Koala Crusaders’ next presentation, open to the public, on Monday 7 September at 5.30pm We all saw the heartbreaking photos of koalas burnt, injured, traumatised and even dead but who could forget one little hero in his red boots venturing tirelessly through scorching stubble and ashes, in his search to loc...ate koalas still clinging to burnt out trees unseen by human eyes? Now an International TV star, Bear the Rescue dog who saved hundreds of koalas will be joined by his canine tracker buddies, Maya and Baxter. Conservation ecologist and koala researcher Dr Romane Cristescu trained the dogs here, on the Sunshine Coast as part of the Detection Dogs for Conservation project with Associate Professor Celine Frere. Dr Cristescu’s wide range of interests all centre around how can we best help wildlife in a world dominated by humans? recently focusing on developing koala scat detection dog methods since 2011, and drone-mounted thermal camera surveys since 2017. Since establishing Detection Dogs for Conservation at the University of the Sunshine Coast in 2015 the team has grown to include four detection dogs and many researchers looking into landscape ecology, wildlife disease, conservation genetics, movement, community empowerment, innovation for conservation. In addition, the team is involved in koala welfare, in partnership with wildlife rescue groups this mission became critical in 2020, with the team spending many months searching and rescuing koalas in the aftermath of the megafires. Dr Cristescu qualified as a veterinarian in France, where she specialised in wildlife. She subsequently got a Master in genetics before moving to Australia for her PhD in landscape ecology - both specifically focusing on koalas. She worked in the Mining Industry on Mine Closure / Rehabilitation, where she transformed her research on restoration ecology into practice. Since then, she continues working with the private sector, the Government, not-for profits and Academia . Dr Cristescu hopes her research can be transformed into informed and effective management actions. See more

12.01.2022 MOPSY (KUNDIBAKH) - RELEASED. (Sorry this post is a little belated). So happy that Mopsy made it to release & he was so excited at the release site to go home.... He was returned to the property he was rescued from to the delight of Paul & his family. Poor skinny, sick boy when he came into care that Christeen wasn't hopeful that he would survive but as always she gave him the best care and was pleasantly surprised that he picked up & continued to improve. Good luck Mopsy. See more

03.01.2022 Very important information to pass onto developers, Councils and decision makers. This also applies to all our native species, especially the nocturnal ones who... are not able to been seen during the day. When developers say their spotters found nothing is just means they didn't see them or didn't want to see them. See more
